To analyze the change in liquidity and profitability of Inca Company from 2006 to 2007, we can calculate and compare several financial ratios. Here's how you can calculate these ratios:

1. Current Ratio: This measures the ability of the company to pay its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. It is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
- Current Ratio 2007 = Current Assets 2007 / Current Liabilities 2007
- Current Ratio 2006 = Current Assets 2006 / Current Liabilities 2006

2. Quick Ratio: This measures the company's ability to pay its short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets. It is calculated by subtracting inventories from current assets and then dividing the result by current liabilities.
- Quick Ratio 2007 = (Current Assets 2007 - Inventories 2007) / Current Liabilities 2007
- Quick Ratio 2006 = (Current Assets 2006 - Inventories 2006) / Current Liabilities 2006

3. Gross Profit Margin: This shows the percentage of profit generated from each dollar of sales after deducting the cost of goods sold. It is calculated by dividing gross profit by sales.
- Gross Profit Margin 2007 = Gross Profit 2007 / Sales 2007
- Gross Profit Margin 2006 = Gross Profit 2006 / Sales 2006

4. Net Profit Margin: This indicates the percentage of profit generated from each dollar of sales after deducting all expenses, including taxes. It is calculated by dividing net income by sales.
- Net Profit Margin 2007 = Net Income 2007 / Sales 2007
- Net Profit Margin 2006 = Net Income 2006 / Sales 2006

Now, to calculate the affected ratios for the given situations:

Situation 1: 18,000 shares of common stock were sold at par on July 1, 2008.
To calculate the Return on Common Stockholders' Equity:
- Return on Common Stockholders' Equity 2007 = Net Income 2007 / Common Stock 2007
- Return on Common Stockholders' Equity 2008 = Net Income 2008 / (Common Stock 2007 + Common Stock Sold in 2008)

Situation 2: All of the notes payable were paid in 2008.
To calculate the Debt to Total Assets ratio:
- Debt to Total Assets 2007 = Total Liabilities 2007 / Total Assets 2007
- Debt to Total Assets 2008 = Total Liabilities 2008 / Total Assets 2008

Situation 3: The market price of common stock was $9 and $12 on December 31, 2007, and 2008, respectively.
To calculate the Price-Earnings ratio:
- Price-Earnings 2007 = Market Price per Share 2007 / Earnings per Share 2007
- Price-Earnings 2008 = Market Price per Share 2008 / Earnings per Share 2008

Please note that specific values like market price per share and earnings per share are not provided in the given information. You would need these values to calculate the affected ratios.
