Question

For Gee-Whiz Devices calculate the following: working capital, current ratio, and acid-test ratio Gee-Whiz Devices Balance Sheet Data Cash Market securities Net accounts and notes receivable Retailers inventories Prepaid expenses Accounts and notes payable (short-term) Accrued expenses $100,000 45,000 150,000 200,000 8,000 315,000 90,000

Answer 1

1. Working Capital

= Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= ( Cash + Marketable Securities + Net accounts and notes receivable + Retailers Inventories + Prepaid expenses) - ( Accounts and notes payable(Short term) + Accrued expenses)

= ( 100,000 + 45,000 + 150,000 + 200,000 + 8,000) - ( 315,000 + 90,000)

= $98,000

2. Current Ratio

= Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

= ( Cash + Marketable Securities + Net accounts and notes receivable + Retailers Inventories + Prepaid expenses) / ( Accounts and notes payable(Short term) + Accrued expenses)

= ( 100,000 + 45,000 + 150,000 + 200,000 + 8,000) / ( 315,000 + 90,000)

= 1.24

3. Quick Ratio

= (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities

= ( 100,000 + 45,000 + 150,000 + 8,000) / ( 315,000 + 90,000)

= 0.75
