问题如下:
At the end of last year, PZ company 's assets and liabilities were as follows:
Based on this table, which of the following statements is correct?
选项:
A. PZ company 's debt-to-equity ratio is 0.71
B. PZ company 's debt-to-equity ratio is 1.14
C. PZ company 's debt-to-equity ratio is 0.57.
解释:
A is correct.
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
So Equity = $75,000-$15,000-$5,000-$20,000=$35,000.
Debt includes interest bearing liabilities only. Thus, accrued liabilities are not debt.
考点:debt-to-equity ratio的计算
资产 = 负债 + 权益 ,所以权益 = 75k - 15k - 5k - 20k = 35k
debt-to-equity ratio = Debt / Equity = (5k+20k) / 35k = 0.714
债务(debt)仅包括计息负债, 预提负债(accrued liabilities) 包含应付税费,应付职工薪酬等只是负债,无需支付利息,因此不算在分子内。
算equity时把它减掉了,但是算debt时又没加进去,怎么理解accrued liability?
