Answer)
Quick assets means those assets owned by the company that can be readily converted into cash.
In the given question, the company has the following current assets:
Total |
|
Accounts receivable |
$ 35,000 |
Cash |
$ 25,000 |
Inventory |
$ 72,000 |
Marketable Securities |
$ 36,000 |
Prepaid expenses |
$ 2,000 |
Of the above current assets, inventory and prepaid expenses are not readily convertible into cash and thus are not part of quick assets. Accordingly, quick assets can be calculated as follows:
Quick Assets = Accounts receivable + Cash + Marketable securities
= $ 35,000 + $ 25,000 + $ 36,000
= $ 96,000
Therefore the amount of quick assets of the company is $ 96,000.
