Hey guys! Having a problem with this homework and starting to think that it is a system error.

In regards to the ACP, yes I did plug in simply 159 & 128, it still claims that it is incorrect.

Explanation / Answer

Answer a.

Year 2:

Depreciation Expense = Accumulated Depreciation Year 2 - Accumulated Depreciation Year 1
Depreciation Expense = $6,782 - $6,662
Depreciation Expense = $120

EBIT = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Depreciation Expense
EBIT = $3,018 - $1,500 - $120
EBIT = $1,398

Interest Coverage Ratio = EBIT / Interest Expense
Interest Coverage Ratio = $1,398 / $140
Interest Coverage Ratio = 9.99

Answer b.

Year 2:

Accounts Receivable Year 2 = $1,316
Accounts Receivable Year 1 = $860

Average Accounts Receivable = (Accounts Receivable Year 2 + Accounts Receivable Year 1) / 2
Average Accounts Receivable = ($1,316 + $860) / 2
Average Accounts Receivable = $1,088

Average Collection Period = 365 * Average Accounts Receivable / Sales
Average Collection Period = 365 * $1,088 / $3,018
Average Collection Period = 131.58 days

Year 1:

Average Accounts Receivable = (Accounts Receivable Year 2 + Accounts Receivable Year 1) / 2
Average Accounts Receivable = ($860 + $950) / 2
Average Accounts Receivable = $905

Average Collection Period = 365 * Average Accounts Receivable / Sales
Average Collection Period = 365 * $905 / $2,700
Average Collection Period = 122.34 days
