Purchases = (𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔 + 𝑪𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 − 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚)
= (108 350 + 34 098 − 22 528)

(ii) This ratio indicates the number of times debt is covered by assets.
(iii) The asset to debt using book values of 3.87 times is greater than the asset
to debt using market values (3.65 times). This is due to the market value of

𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝑨𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒕𝒔

)
1 102 280
