Are there weaknesses in using a current ratio?

Expert Solution

(1)

Current assets = cash & cash equivalents + short term investments + current receivables, net + inventory + prepaid insurance

current liabilities = salaries payable + short term notes payable

for 2019,

current assets = $16000 + $5000 + $32000 + $16000 + $3000 = $72000

current liabilities = $28000 + $16000 = $44000

therefore,

current ratio = $72000/$44000 = 1.64 times

for 2020,

current assets = $12000 + $11000 + $23000 + $26000 + $2000 = $74000

current liabilities = $17000 + $12000 = $29000

therefore,

current ratio = $74000/$29000 = 2.55 times

(2)

result of current ratio measures by what times the amount of current assets is as compared to current liability.

(3)

yes, the current ratio has improved as it has gone up to 2.55 from 1.64

yes, Keisy’s Topical Kids Inc. is in good financial condition which is evident from the current ratios.

(4)

Yes, the primary weakness of using current ratio is that it is not adequate indicator of the liquidity position of a company.
