Expert:  DanielleCPA replied 12 months ago.

A.D. Makepeace isn't traded on a stock exchange but rather on the OTC market so it doesn't have to file a 10-K report so it sounds like that company won't work for this assignment.

Any company in particular or does it not matter as long as it starts with an "A" or a "T"?

I will upload the solution and post in on this site. You will receive email notification and you will be able to view my post to download the solution.

I will have to this to you on Saturday the 23rd at the latest, but most likely it will be sooner than that.

It doesn,t matter as long as is a public held corporation and the name of the corporation start with 'A or T' ( that is the letter that start my name as part of the question 1). Any of the letter that work best for you(A or T). I hope you can see all the 55 questions?

The last question I see is #52 on ratio analysis. If there are additional questions, please post those as well.

Additionally, question 52 says to use the ratios on page 705 Exhibit 17.16 of your text and to present them in the same groupings as your text. Could you please let me know what ratios the text is looking for and be sure to group them how the book does? I want to make sure I give you the answer in the right format.

current ratio=current assets/current liabilities

accid-test ratio=cash+short-term investment+current receivables/current liabilities

debt ratio =total liabilities/total assets

equity ratio=total equity/total assets

profit margin ratio=net income/net sales

gross margin ratio=net sales-cost of goods sold/net sales

retun on total assets =net income/average total assets.

honestly, this is one of the most confusing part for me,there a lots of formular on the page I don't really know which one is espected me to use.

As per the other question I will do that on my own. Thanks.
