Answer:

The Quick ratio: 0.86:1

Explanation:

The question is completed first as follows:

Windswept, Inc. 2009 and 2010 Balance Sheets ($ in millions) 2009 2010 2009 2010 Cash $ 270 $ 300 Accounts payable $ 1,530 $ 1,485 Accounts rec. 1,080 980 Long-term debt 1,140 1,340 Inventory 1,930 1,755 Common stock $ 3,420 $ 3,370 Total $ 3,280 $ 3,035 Retained earnings 680 930 Net fixed assets 3,490 4,090 Total assets $ 6,770 $ 7,125 Total liab. & equity $ 6,770 $ 7,125 What is the quick ratio for 2010?

Solution:

The requirement is to use the given information to calculate Windswept Inc's Quick ratio for 2010.

Quick ratio: this represents the ability of an organisation's short term liquidity to cover and cater for its short term obligation. Basically, it looks at the ratio of the current assets of an organisation (those that can be quickly converted to cash) to meet the current liabilities.

The formula for quick ratio= Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

Windswept's quick ration = Cash + Accounts receivable / Accounts Payable (all for 2010)

= $300 + 980 / $1, 485

= $1,280/$1,485

= 0.86:1

This means that the current asset of the company can only cover its current obligations up to about 86%. This is the quick ratio.
