If total assets equal 3 times liabilities, and owner's equity is $40,000, what are total assets?

$60,000 

Let "L" stand for liabilities. Given that total assets equals 3L and that owner's equity equals $40,000, then according to the accounting equation:
3L = L + $40,000
Subtract L from both sides of the equation.
2L = $40,000
L = $20,000
Total Assets = $20,000 + $40,000
Total Assets = $60,000

 Net credit sales are normally sold on terms of n/30 (net in 30 days). Net credit sales total $50,000, and the average net accounts receivable is $5,000 in the current period. The collection period ratio is...?

36.5 days 

The collection period ratio is calculated as follows: Days in the Year divided by Receivables Turnover (Receivables Turnover = Net Credit Sales divided by Average Accounts Receivable) = the Average Collection Period. So, Receivables Turnover = $50,000 divided by $5,000, which is equal to 10 times.

Then, 365 divided by 10 = 36.5.

Owners equity represents the residual interest that Joe would have in his business. In other words, the assets of the business less its liabilities.
Joe's Taco Truck started business with $24,000 cash and a truck worth $40,000. He purchased some equipment. Paid $24,000 for half the equipment and borrowed the balance from the bank. How much equity does Joe have in the business?

The correct answer was $64,000


Assets first:

Cash $24,000

Truck $40,000

Equipment $48,000 (remember he'd paid $24,000 for half the equipment, hence their total value is $48,000).

Sub-total $112,000.

As he paid for half the equipment and that can only have come out of his cash supply, therefore, assets are reduced by $24,000.

TOTAL ASSETS $88,000.


Liabilities:

Joe borrowed $24,000 to pay for half the cost of the equipment.

TOTAL LIABILITIES $24,000


OWNERS EQUITY = $64,000

BEING ASSETS $88,000 less LIABILITIES $24,000
