**Problem Statement:**

c-1. Assume the notes payable were due on April 1, Year 1, rather than April 1, Year 2. Calculate the revised current ratio at the end of January.

---

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram provided is a table used to calculate the Current Ratio, which measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations. 

**Table Components:**

- **Table Header (Blue Background):**
  - *Current Ratio* is the main title indicating the calculation performed using the figures within the table.

- **Columns:**
  1. **Choose Numerator:**
     - *Current Assets* is selected as the numerator.
  2. **Choose Denominator:**
     - *Current Liabilities* is selected as the denominator.
  3. **Current Ratio:**
     - Displays the resulting Current Ratio, with a placeholder shown as "0 times".

- **Rows:**
  - There is one filled row with "Current Assets" and "Current Liabilities" as placeholders for entering numerical values. The output shows the current ratio as "0 times," which may suggest the need for numerical input to demonstrate an actual ratio. 

**Understanding Current Ratio:**

The Current Ratio formula is:

\[ \text{Current Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Assets}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} \]

A current ratio less than 1 may indicate potential liquidity issues, while a ratio above 1 suggests better short-term financial health.

This table setup guides users in understanding how to compute the current ratio by entering the appropriate values for current assets and current liabilities.
