Solution

To calculate the percentage increase or decrease of each current asset amount, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Subtract the Year 1 value from the Year 2 value.
  2. Divide the result by the Year 1 value.
  3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Let's calculate for each asset:

  • Cash:

    1. Subtract Year 1 value from Year 2 value: 245.90245.90 - 202.95 = $42.95
    2. Divide the result by the Year 1 value: 42.95/42.95 / 202.95 = 0.2116
    3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: 0.2116 * 100 = 21.16% So, the cash increased by 21.16% from Year 1 to Year 2.
  • A/R:

    1. Subtract Year 1 value from Year 2 value: 485.34485.34 - 398.02 = $87.32
    2. Divide the result by the Year 1 value: 87.32/87.32 / 398.02 = 0.2193
    3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: 0.2193 * 100 = 21.93% So, the A/R increased by 21.93% from Year 1 to Year 2.
  • Inventory:

    1. Subtract Year 1 value from Year 2 value: 648.54648.54 - 785.12 = -$136.58
    2. Divide the result by the Year 1 value: -136.58/136.58 / 785.12 = -0.1740
    3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: -0.1740 * 100 = -17.40% So, the inventory decreased by 17.40% from Year 1 to Year 2.
