Solutions

Expert Solution

The following formulae must be used to calculate the current ratio and quick ratio.

(a) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

(b) Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities

Given: Cash: $300,000 Temporary investments: $100,000 Accounts receivable (net): $200,000 Inventory: $200,000 Accounts payable: $400,000

(a) Current Ratio: Current Assets = Cash + Temporary investments + Accounts receivable (net) + Inventory = $300,000 + $100,000 + $200,000 + $200,000 = $800,000

Current Liabilities = Accounts payable = $400,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = $800,000 / $400,000 = 2

Therefore, the current ratio is 2.

(b) Quick Ratio: Quick Assets = Current Assets - Inventory = $800,000 - $200,000 = $600,000

Quick Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities = $600,000 / $400,000 = 1.5

Therefore, the quick ratio is 1.5 (rounded to one decimal place).

 


Therefore, the current ratio is 2.

Therefore, the quick ratio is 1.5 (rounded to one decimal place).
