विकल्प

• 0.95 : 1

• 1.05 : 1

• 2.1 : 1

• 1 : 1

Answer 1

0.95 : 1

Explanation:

Acid Test Ratio = `"Liquid Assets"/"Current Liabilities"`

Liquid Assets = Cash & Cash Equivalents + Trade Receivables

= 13,000 + 25,000

= ₹ 38,000

Current Liabilities = Trade Payables + Bank Overdraft

= 30,000 + 10,000

= ₹ 40,000

Acid Test Ratio = `(38,000)/(40,000)`

= 0.95 : 1
