Profitability Ratios
Bryce Company manufactures pet supplies. However, Bryce's electronic accounting system recently crashed and, unfortunately, only a partial recovery of the company's year-end accounting records (which included several profitability ratios) was possible. As a result, Bryce's controller, a bright young CPA named Jeanette, must compute various lost financial account balances using the recovered information listed below:
| Long-term liabilities |
$1,500,000 |
| Ending inventory is the same as beginning inventory. |
| Gross margin |
$2,700,000 |
| Net sales |
$8,000,000 |
| Accounts receivable turnover |
60 |
| Ending accounts receivable is the same as beginning accounts receivable. |
| Total liabilities |
$1,900,000 |
| Current ratio |
4 |
| Cash |
$540,000 |
| Quick ratio |
3.5 |
| Inventory turnover in days |
3.65 |
