11. The effect of transactions on ratios You've been asked to tutor Caleb, a finance student who doesn't feel comfortable about his understanding of the relationship between a company's business activities, its financial accounts, and the company's financial ratios. To better appreciate these relationships, you've created the following exercises for Caleb to complete. The purpose of these exercises is to help Caleb (1) understand the effect of business transactions on financial statement-such as balance sheet and income statement-accounts and (2) how these changes in the numerators and denominators of financial ratios affect the ratios' values. However, before using these exercises in your tutoring session later todoy, youn want to run the calculations on the following two business transactions, to verify the accuracy of your answers. To provide a consistent frame of reference for the company's financial statements and ratios, assume that the following balance sheet and income statement reflect the company's pretransaction condition and performance. ICost of goods sold equals 40% of sales. Interest expense equals 6% of the combined notes payable and jong-term debt balances. The average federal and state tax rate is 35%. Indicate if any of the listed financlal statement accounts is affected by the following business transactions and whether the listed ratios will increase, decrease, or remain unchanged as a result of the transaction. (Mint: Assume that the business transaction occurs exactly as stated without interpreting it further.
