Based on these amounts, calculate the current ratio and the acid-test ratio for Airline Accessories. (Enter your answers in millions, not in dollars. For example, $5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5.)

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

1. The current ratio is the sum of current assets divided by current liabilities. It used to measure the ability of the airlines accessories to meet its short term obligation due within a year

Current ratio = $93 million + $85 million + $9 million / $80 million + $26 million

Current ratio = $187 million / $106 million

Current ratio = 1.76:1

Current ratio = 1.76 times

2. Acid test ratio. This measure liquidity but with adjustment for risky current assets i.e Inventory

Acid test ratio = Current assets - Inventories / Current liabilities

Acid test ratio = ($187 million - $173 million) / $106 million

Acid test ratio = $14 million / $106 million

Acid test ratio = 0.13:1

Acid test ratio = 0.13 times
