Question

As the accountant for Marston Retail Stores, you must calculate the current ratio for the firm's last accounting period. The firm's current assets were $120,000, its fixed assets were $240,000, its current liabilities were $80,000, and its long-term liabilities were $60,000. Given these facts, what is the firm's current ratio

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5

Explanation:

Current ratio = current asset/current liabilities

This ratio is used to determine how quickly the current assets can be used to settle the current liabilities as they fall due.

current assets = $120,000

current liabilities = $80,000

The firm's current ratio = $120,000/$80,000

                                      = 1.5
