Explanation:                                                          $

Current Asset    

Inventory                                                        64,000

Accounts Receivables                                   24,000

Short Term Investment                                    

Cash and Cash Equivalent                              5,400

                                                                        93,400 + X

Current Liabilities

Accounts Payable                                          43,000

Salaries Payable                                             15,000

Accrued Interest                                                1000

                                                                        59,000

Current Ratio = Current Asset ÷ Current Liability

1.7   =  93400+X

1              59000

X+ 93400= 59000×1.7

X= 100300-93400

X = $6,900 ( Short Term Investments)

Current Asset= 93400+6900= 100,300
