Answer 1

Part 1.

3.1 times

Part 2.

a. total assets

Part 3

d. the company's ability to generate sufficient cash to repay debt when due.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Part 1

Inventory turnover measures the activity of liquidity of a company`s inventory. The higher the ratio in comparison, the more efficient the inventory is managed.

Inventory turnover = Cost of Sales ÷ Inventory

therefore,

Inventory turnover = $982,500 ÷ $ 312,500 = 3.1 times

For Part 2

In a common-size Balance Sheet, each item is expressed as a percentage of total assets whereas in a common size Income Statement, Sales revenue is expressed as 100 % and every other item is expressed as a percentage of sales revenue.

For Part 3

Solvency or Liquidity is the ability of short term assets to cover short term liabilities. Also put, it is the company's ability to generate sufficient cash to repay debt when due.
