He pays his bills on time, has managed to save a little in an investment account, and with the help of an inheritance managed to buy a condominium. Hasan worries about his financial situation. Given the following information, prepare a personal cash flow statement and personal balance sheet for Hasan. Also, calculate the current ratio, liquidity ratio, debt-to-assets ratio, and savings ratio associated with Hasan’s personal financial statements. Interpret these financial statements and ratios for Hasan. In addition to the list of monthly expenses, assets, and liabilities below, Hasan offers this information:

■ “Other expenses, monthly” represents cash spent without a record to verify where.
