Q1. Which fundamental accounting equation underlies the balance sheet in healthcare
financial reporting?
A. Revenue minus Expenses equals Net Income
B. Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity
C. Cash Inflows minus Cash Outflows equals Net Cash Flow
D. Fixed Assets plus Current Assets equals Total Debt
B. Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity [CORRECT]
Rationale: The balance sheet is structured around the accounting equation Assets =
Liabilities + Equity, which represents the organization's financial position at a point in
time. Option A describes the income statement, option C describes the cash flow
statement, and option D is a nonsensical combination.

Q2. A hospital reports current assets of $3,600,000 and current liabilities of $1,200,000.
What is the current ratio?
A. 2.0
B. 2.5
C. 3.0
D. 4.0
C. 3.0 [CORRECT]
,Rationale: The current ratio is calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities
($3,600,000 / $1,200,000 = 3.0). Option A results from using $1,800,000 as the
denominator, option B is a distractor with no mathematical basis, and option D results
from doubling the numerator.
Correct Answer: C
Q3. A community health center reports current assets of $1,800,000, inventory of
$600,000, and current liabilities of $600,000. What is the quick ratio?
A. 1.5
B. 2.0
C. 2.5
D. 3.0
B. 2.0 [CORRECT]
Rationale: The quick ratio equals (current assets minus inventory) divided by current
liabilities ($1,800,000 - $600,000) / $600,000 = 2.0. Option D represents the common
error of calculating the current ratio without subtracting inventory, while options A and C
represent decimal placement errors.

What is the debt-to-equity ratio?
A. 0.67
B. 1.0
C. 1.5
D. 2.0
C. 1.5 [CORRECT]
Rationale: The debt-to-equity ratio equals total liabilities divided by total equity
($12,000,000 / $8,000,000 = 1.5). Option A results from reversing the numerator and
denominator, option B assumes equal values, and option D doubles the correct ratio.
Correct Answer: C
Q6. A hospital administrator needs to monitor collection efficiency. Which formula
correctly calculates days in accounts receivable?
A. (Average accounts receivable / Net credit revenue) × 365
B. (Net credit revenue / Average accounts receivable) × 365
C. Average accounts receivable × 365
D. Net credit revenue / 365
A. (Average accounts receivable / Net credit revenue) × 365 [CORRECT]
