The problem presented involves financial ratios, specifically profit margin, debt ratio, and liabilities-to-assets ratio, as well as concepts related to current and quick ratios in liquidity analysis. These are fundamental financial metrics used to assess a company's profitability, leverage, and liquidity, critical for managerial decision-making and financial analysis.

Given the relationships for Haslam Corporation—sales to total assets ratio of 2.1, return on assets (ROA) of 2%, and return on equity (ROE) of 7%—we are tasked with calculating the profit margin, liabilities-to-assets ratio, and debt-to-assets ratio under the assumption that half of the liabilities are in debt form.

Similarly, for Nelson Company, the focus is on liquidity ratios, specifically evaluating how much Nelson's short-term debt can increase without lowering its current ratio below 2.4 and determining the firm's quick ratio after this maximum increase in short-term funds. These ratios are central to understanding a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations and efficiently manage its assets.

The questions require understanding fundamental financial ratios, the use of basic algebra and proportion concepts, and applying them to hypothetical situations based on provided data. Accurate calculations with attention to rounding are necessary, as well as understanding the economic significance of these ratios.

These analyses are essential for financial managers, investors, and creditors in decision-making processes, assessing company performance, and making informed lending or investment choices.
