Solutions

Expert Solution

Stuation 1)	Current Ratio	1.7

	Working Capital	5294


	Current ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
	=12774/7480
	1.7

	Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
	=12774 -7480
	5,294


Stuation 2)	When 3770 paid to accounts payable in cash

	Current Ratio	2.4

	Working Capital	5294

	Current ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
	=(12774-3770) /(7480-3770)
	2.4

	Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
	=(12774-3770) -(7480-3770)
	5,294


Stuation 3)	Current Ratio	1.4

	Working Capital	5294


	Current ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
	=(12774+6000)/(7480+6000)
	1.4

	Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
	=(12774+6000) - (7480+6000)
	5,294
