Round to one decimal place. a. Current ratio fill in the blank 1 b. Quick ratio fill in the blank 2

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

a. The current ratio is

We know that

Current ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

= $440,000 ÷ $200,000

= 2.2

Cash $160,000

Marketable Securities $75,000

Account receivable $65,000

Inventory $140,000

Current Assets $440,000

Account Payable $200,000

current liabilities $200,000

b

Quick ratio =( Current assets - inventory ) ÷ Current Liabilities

= ($440,000 - $140,000 ) ÷ $200,000

= 1.5
