Answer:

The current ratio is 1.18 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Current Ratio: The current ratio is that ratio which shows a relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities

The computation of the current ratio is shown below

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = Cash + short-term investments + net accounts receivable + merchandise inventory

= $43,500 + $27,000 + $102,000 + $125,000

= $297,500

And, the total current liabilities is $251,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the ratio would equal to

= $297,500 ÷ $251,000

= 1.18 times

The long term note payable is not a current liabilities,hence it is not considered in the computation part.
