The note payable balance is due in nine months. How much is Charlie's current ratio? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer 1

The charlie current ratio is 1.84 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the current ratio is shown below:

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current liabilities

where,

Current assets = Account receivable + cash + inventory + prepaid expense

= $46,500 + $46,000 + $32,000 + $4,400

= $128,900

And, the current liabilities = Accounts payable + interest payable + short notes payable

= $36,500 + $3,500 + $30,000

= $70,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $128,900 ÷ $70,000

= 1.84 times
