Airline Accessories has the following current assets: cash, $96 million; receivables, $88 million; inventory, $176 million; and other current assets, $12 million. Airline Accessories has the following liabilities: accounts payable, $86 million; current portion of long-term debt, $29 million; and long-term debt, $17 million. 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 and Explanation:

The computation of the current ratio and the acid ratio is shown below:

The current ratio is

= Current assets ÷ current liabilities

= ($96 + $88 + $176 + $12) ÷ ($86 + $29)

= $372 ÷ $115

= 3.23 times

And, the quick ratio is

= Quick assets ÷ current liabilities

= ($372 - $176) ÷  ($86 + $29)

= $196 ÷ $115

= 1.70 times

Hence, the current ratio and the acid-test ratio is 3.23 times and 1.70 times respectively
