A fire has destroyed a large percentage of the financial records of the Carter Company. You have the task of piecing together information in order to release a financial report. You have found the return on equity to be $25\%.$ If sales were $$61,000,000,$ the debt ratio was $40\%,$ and total liabilities were $$12,000,000,$ what would be the return on assets $($ROA$)?$

a$.,8\mathrm{.}33\%$

b$.,10\mathrm{.}00\%$

c$.,16\mathrm{.}56\%$

d$.19\mathrm{.}94\%$

e$.15\mathrm{.}00\%$

The RRR Company has a target current ratio of $3\mathrm{.}2.$ Presently, the current ratio is $4\mathrm{.}4$ based on current assets of $$6,556,000.$ If $RRR$ expands its inventory using short$-$term liabilities $($maturities less than one year$),$ how much additional funding can it obtain before its target current ratio is reached?

a$.$ $$855,802$

b$.,$$$558,750$
