A firm’s total current assets are 18.3% of total assets, the current ratio is 1.98, and the quick ratio is 1.46. What is the firm’s inventory, in % of assets? Round to the nearest 0.1%, drop the % symbol. E.g., if your answer is 5.45%, record it as 5.5.
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = [ Current Assets - Inventory ] / Current Liabilities
Let X be the Current Liability
Current Assets = 1.98X
Quick Assets = 1.46X
Inventory = Current Assets - Quick Assets
= 1.98X - 1.46X
= 0.52X
Inventory as % of Current Assets = 0.52X / 1.98X
= 0.2626 I.e 26.26%
Inventory as % of Total Assets = 26.26% * 18.3%
= 4.8%
