Calculate the current ratio and the acid-test ratio for the company. (Enter your answers in millions, not in dollars. For example, $5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5.)

Answer 1

Answer:

0.31; 0.27

Explanation:

Given that,

Total current assets = $867

Inventory = $22

Total current liabilities = $2,778

Current ratio:

= Current assets ÷ Current liabilities

= $867 ÷ $ 2,778

= 0.31

Acid test ratio:

= (Current assets - Inventory) ÷ Current liabilities

= ($867 - $122) ÷ $ 2,778

= $745 ÷ $2,778

= 0.27

Therefore, the current ratio and acid test ratio are 0.31 and 0.27, respectively.
