Financial Ratios: Financial ratios are the metrics used to evaluate the liquidity, capabilities, profitability, and overall performance of a company.
To compute:
Given info: Total current assets and current liabilities.
1(a)
Explanation of Solution
Compute working capital.
Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
Formula:
Thus, working capital is $1,200,000.
1(b)
To compute:
Given info: Total current assets and current liabilities.
1(b)
Explanation of Solution
Compute current ratio.
Current Ratio: Current ratio is used to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. Current ratio is determined by dividing current assets and current liabilities.
Formula:
The ideal current ratio is 2:1.
Current assets and current liabilities are determined as follows:
Thus, current ratio is 1.6.
1(c)
Acid-Test Ratio: This ratio denotes that this ratio is a more rigorous test of solvency than the current ratio. It is determined by dividing quick assets and current liabilities. The acceptable acid-test ratio is 0.90 to 1.00. Use the following formula to determine the acid-test ratio:
Quick Assets are those assets that are most liquid. The examples of quick assets include cash and bank balances, marketable securities, and sundry debtors.
To calculate: Acid-test ratio
Given info: Current assets and current liabilities
1(c)
Explanation of Solution
Compute quick ratio.
First, determine the quick assets as shown below:
Then, determine acid-test ratio by dividing quick assets and current liabilities. Accounts payable are the only current liabilities.
Thus, quick ratio is 1.1.
To compute: Working capital, Current ratio, and Quick ratio considering the given transactions.
Explanation of Solution
2(a)
Sale of marketable securities at no gain or loss, $500,000.
When sale of marketable securities is considered, it increases the cash and decreases the marketable securities by same amount. So, there is no effect in the working capital, current ratio, and quick ratios that are calculated in the requirement 1. Thus, working capital, current ratio, and quick ratio are determined as follows:
Ratios | Working capital | Current ratio | Quick ratio |
$1,200,000 | 1.6 | 1.1 |
2(b)
Payment of accounts payable at $287,500.

Thus, ratios are determined as follows:
Compute working capital.
Compute current ratio.
Compute quick ratio.
2(h)
Received cash on account, $75,000.
Receipt of cash on account is $75,000. Cash and accounts receivable are assets. Cash is an asset and increases due to receipt of cash. Accounts receivable is an asset and is decreased. So, there is no effect of this transaction.
Determine the new current assets, quick assets, and current liabilities as below:
Thus, ratios are determined as follows:
Compute working capital.
Compute current ratio.
Compute quick ratio.
2(i)
