    The adjustment depletes our Net income by $5,000,000, thus all basic key ratios will drop as shown below:

    Explanation:

    Company X

    Adjustment Entry

    Dr. Income Statement with $5,000,000

    Cr. Accrued Liability with $5,000,000

    (Being accrued Warranty liability and Vendors invoices for the year)

    1.

    Current ratio

    Before the adjustment:

    = Current Asset divided by Current Liability

    This year = $50,000,000/$30,000000 = 1.67

    Last Year = $40,000,000/$25,000,000 = 1.6

    After the adjustment:

    = Current Asset divided by Current Liability

    This year = $50,000,000/$35,000000 = 1.43

    Last Year = $40,000,000/$25,000,000 = 1.6

    2.

    Return on Investment

    Before the adjustment:

    = Net Income / (Shareholders Equity + Long term liability)

    This year = $10,000,000 / ($45,000000+$25,000,000) = 14.29%

    After the adjustment:

    = Net Income / (Shareholders Equity + Long term liability)

    Net Income depletes by the Accrued Warranty Liability of $5,000,000

    This year = $5,000,000 / ($35,000000+$20,000,000) = 9.1%

    3.

    Return on Equity

    Before the adjustment:

    = Net Income/Shareholder's equity

    This year = $10,000,000/$45,000000 = 22.22%

    After the adjustment:

    = Net Income/Shareholder's equity

    Net Income depletes by the Accrued Warranty Liability of $5,000,000

    This year = $5,000,000/$35,000000 = 14.29%
