Solutions

Expert Solution

1. Current Ratio is a comparison of current assets to current liabilities, calculated by dividing the total current assets by total current liabilities.

Thus for 2014, Total Current Asset: 1,549,399

Total Current Liabilities: 421,627

Current Ratio for 2014 would be: = 3.67:1

For 2015, Total Current Asset:1,498,763

Total Current Liabilities: 478,810

Current Ratio for 2015 would be: = 3.13:1

2. Quick assets are current assets that can be converted to cash within 90 days or in the short-term. Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments or marketable securities, and current accounts receivable are considered quick assets. The formula as per the question above would be: (Cash and cash equivalents+Accounts receivable, net/Total Current Liabilities)

Thus for 2014 =

(593,175+279,835)/421,627

= 2.071

For 2015

(129,852+433,638)/478,810 = 1.177

1. Account receivables have increased significantly in 2015, impacting the cash position of the company.
2. Prepaid expenses have risen sharply in 2015, indicating good future planning related to expenses.
3. Significant rise in Assets (Goodwill, intangible assets and Property & instruments)

4. Decline in liquidity rations from 2014 to 2015, however both current and quick ratios are at comfortable levels.

5. In 2015, the firm has taken a long term credit line of 275,000, impacting the long term liquidity situation of the company,
