To determine

To calculate: The owner’s equity and prepare a balance sheet of Uniflex Fabricators, Inc. for December 31,2014, a sole proprietorship owned by Paul Provost if current asset is $132,500, property, plant and equipment is$88,760, investments and other assets is $32,400, current liabilities is$51,150 and long-term liabilities is $87,490.

Formula used:

Follow the steps to prepare a vertical analysis of a balance sheet,

Step 1: Using the percentage formula, Rate=Portion÷Base, to compute the percentage of each item on the balance sheet. Use each item as the portion and total assets as the base.

Step 2: Round each answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Step 3: Write the percent of each balance sheet item in a column to the right of the monetary amount.

Calculation:

Consider Uniflex Fabricators, Inc. for December 31,2014, a sole proprietorship’s the current asset is $132,500, property, plant and equipment is$88,760, investments and other assets is $32,400, current liabilities is$51,150 and long-term liabilities is $87,490. Compute % of Current Assets by dividing the current asset with total assets: % of Current Assets=Current AssetTotal assets=132,500253,600=52.2% Compute % of total of Property, Plant and Equipment by diving property, plant and equipment with total assets. % of Total of Property, Plant and Equipment=Property, Plant and EquipmentTotal Assets=88,760253,660=35% Compute % of Total Current Liabilities by dividing current liabilities with total liabilities and owner’s equity % of Total Current Liabilities=Current liabilitiesTotal Assets=51,150253,660=20.2% Compute % of long-term liabilities by dividing long-term liabilities with total liabilities and owner’s equity % of long-term liabilities=Long-term liabilitiesTotal assets=87,490253,660=34.5% Compute % of total liabilities; % of total liabilities=Total liabilitiesTotal assets=138,640253,660=54 (b) To determine To calculate: The owner’s equity and prepare a comparative balance sheet of Uniflex Fabricators, Inc. for December 31,2014 and 2015, if current asset is$154,300, property, plant and equipment is $124,650, investments and other assets is$20,000, current liabilities is $65,210 and long-term liabilities is$83,800.
