f.
It does not appear that the company faces any immediate solvency problems. It did start
with $200,000 cash, but in its first transaction the company spent $140,000 on equipment,
leaving only $60,000 cash to begin operations. This amount had increased to $65,000 by the
end of December. Thus, during its first month of operations, the business was able to
generate $5,000 of positive cash flow from operations.
The $100,000 note payable due on November 30, 2010, does raise a potential concern about
the company's solvency, however. Currently, the business does not have sufficient liquid
assets to satisfy this obligation. In fact, the company's working capital position is actually
negative by $25,880 ($93,100 of current assets minus $118,980 of current liabilities).
Likewise, its current ratio is only 0.78:1 ($93,100 of current assets divided by $118,980 of
current liabilities). However, if the business can continue to generate at least $5,000 of
positive operating cash flows each month, remaining solvent should not pose a serious issue.

There is nothing at all unethical about Patty Driver (a founding shareholder) maintaining
the accounting records for Susquehanna Equipment Rentals. In most businesses, the
accounting records are maintained either by owners or employees, none of whom are
independent of the organization.
The concept of independence refers to auditing financial statements, where the auditor has
to make an independent evaluation of the statements fairness. Independence does not
apply to the routine maintenance of accounting records.
