Balance Sheet Missing element problem. Plz help? I tried but didn't make it correct. Can anyone plz help?
The following December 31, 2009, fiscal year-end account balance information is available for the Stonebridge Corporation:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,000
Accounts receivable (net) 20,000
Inventories 60,000
Property, plant, and equipment (net) 120,000
Accounts payable 44,000
Wages payable 15,000
Paid-in-capital 100,000
The only asset not listed is short-term investments. The only liabilities not listed are a $30,000 note payable due in two years and related accrued interest of $1,000 due in four months. The current ratio at year-end is 1.5:1.
Required:
Determine the following at December 31, 2009:
Total current assets ??
Short-term investments ??
Retained earnings ??

1. Current ratio = Total current assets / Current liabilities

Total current assets = Current liabilities * Current ratio

Total current assets = ($44,000 + $15,000 + $1,000) + 1.5

Total current assets = $60,000 * 1.5

Total current assets = $90,000

2. Short Investments = Total current assets - (Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventories)

Short Investments = $90,000 - ($5,000 + $20,000 + $50,000)

Short Investments = $90,000 - $75,000

Short Investments = $15,000

3.Calculation of Retained earnings

Total assets = Long term assets + Current assets = $120,000 + $90,000 + $210,000

Retained earnings = Total assets - (Current liabilities + Long term liabilities + Paid in capital

Retained earnings = $210,000 - ($60,000 + $30,000 + $100,000)

Retained earnings = $210,000 - $190,000

Retained earnings = $20,000

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
