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 |
