Question

Ace Industries has current assets equal to $5 million. The company's current ratio is 2.0, and its quick ratio is 1.6. What is the firm's level of current liabilities? What is the firm's level of inventories?

Answer 1

=1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Current ratio= current asset/ current liabilities

Current ratio= $5 million./ Current Liabilities

Cross multiply we have

But current ratio is 2.0

2= 5/ current liabilities

current liabilities= 5/2

=2.5million

Quick ratio= current Asset- inventory/current liabilities

1.5=( 5- inventory)/2.5

Cross multiply we have

1.5×2.5= ( 5- inventory)

3.75= ( 5- inventory)

inventory= 5-3.75

=1.25

Therefore, the firm's level of inventories is 1.25
