Required:
Calculate the four risk ratios listed above for Adrian Express in 2018.

                                                      Industry average       Adrian Express

Average collection period                  25 days                     31 days

Average days in inventory                  60 days                    152 days

Current ratio                                             2                             3.91

Debt to equity ratio                               50%                          109%

Explanation:

Average collection period = (average accounts receivable / total net credit sales) x  365 days = {[(1,620,000 + 1,310,000) / 2] / 17,262,000} x 365 days = 30.98 ≈ 31 days

Average days in inventory = 365 days / inventory turnover

inventory turnover = COGS / average inventory = 10,624,000 / [(4,710,000 4,150,000) / 2] =  2.4

Average days in inventory = 365 days / 2.4 = 152 days

Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities = (cash + accounts receivable + inventory) / $1,930,000 = ($1,220,000 + $1,620,000 + $4,710,000) / $1,930,000 = $7,550,000 / $1,930,000 =3.91

Debt to equity ratio = total liabilities / stockholders' equity =  $4,200,000 / $3,860,000 = 1.09 or 109%
