Question

X Ltd. has a Current Ratio of 3.5 : 1 and Quick Ratio of 2 : 1. If the Inventories is  ₹  24,000; calculate total Current Liabilities and Current Assets.

Answer 1

`"Current Ratio" = "Current Assets"/ "Current liability" = 3.5/1`

`"Quick Ratio" = "Quick Assets"/"Current Liabilities" = 2/1`

Let Current Liabilities be = x

Current Assets = 3.5 x

Quick Assets = 2 x

Stock = Current Assets − Quick Assets

24,000 = 3.5 x − 2 x

or, 24,000 = 1.5 x

x = 16,000

Current Liabilities = x = Rs 16,000

Current Assets = 3.5 x = 3.5 × 16,000 = Rs 56,000
