Stock (Assuming it's inventory) $40,000

Debtors (Accounts Receivable) $35,000

Total Equity = $692,850

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Assets = $474,300 Total Liabilities and Equity = $1,027,650

*Now, let's calculate the equity section of the balance sheet:

Dividends (Amount to be distributed among common stockholders):

$210,000

Retained Earnings:

Retained Earnings = (Net Profit After Tax - Dividends)

Retained Earnings = ($402,850 - $210,000)

Retained Earnings = $192,850

($1,230,000 - $470,000 - $45,000 - $61,000 - $35,000)

Net Income Before Tax: $619,000

Tax (35%):

($619,000 * 0.35)

Tax: $216,150

Net Profit After Tax:

(Net Income Before Tax - Tax)

($619,000 - $216,150)

Net Profit After Tax: $402,850

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

From the balance sheet provided earlier:

Current Assets = $124,300

Now, calculate the current ratio:

Current Ratio = $124,300 / $42,300

Current Ratio = 2.94 (rounded to two decimal places)
