Answer:
a. $50,000
b. 2.25 times
c. 0.75 times
Explanation:
a. The formula to compute the working capital is shown below:
Working capital = Current assets - current liabilities
where,
Current assets = Cash + accounts receivable + merchandise inventory
= $16,000 + $44,000 + $60,000
= $90,000
And, the current liabilities would be
= Wages payable + accounts payable
= $10,000 + $30,000
= $40,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would be equal to
= $90,000 - $40,000
= $50,000
b. Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities
= $90,000 ÷ $40,000
= 2.25 times
c. Acid-test ratio = Total Current assets - merchandise inventory ÷ total current liabilities
= $90,000 - $60,000 ÷ $40,000
= 0.75 times
