Answer:

1. Given Current Ratio = 1.7:1

Current assets / Current Liability = 1.7/1

Current assets = 1.7 * Current liability

Current liabilities = Account payable + Salaries payable + Accured interest

Current liabilities = $43,000 + $15,000 + $1,000

Total Current liabilities = $59,000

Therefore, Current assets = 1.7 * $59,000

Total Current assets = $100,300

2. Current assets = Cash and Cash equivalent + Account receivables + Inventory + Short term investment

$100,300 = $5,400 + $24,000 + $64,000 + Short term investment

Short term investment = $100,300 - $5,400 - $24,000 - $64,000

Short term investment = $6,900

3. Assets = Liabilities + Capital

Current assets + Non-Current assets = Current liabilities + Long term liabilities + Paid in capital + Retained earnings

$100,300 + $140,000 = $59,000 + $120,000 + Retained earnings

$240,300 = $213,000 + Retained earnings

Retained earnings = $27,300
