To calculate:
The new current ratio after considering the recent transactions.

Answer to Problem 11E
The updated current ratio is 1.63:1.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Current assets = $54,000
Current ratio = 1.80:1
- Merchandise purchased for $6,000 on account Purchase of merchandise on account will increase the current assets as well as the current liabilities by the same amount.
- Delivery truck purchased for $10,000 by paying $1,000 in cash and for the balanced amount signing a two years promissory note.
New Values
Current Assets = $54,000 + $6,000 = $60,000
Current liabilities = $30,000 + $6,000 = $36,000
New ratio:
Purchasing a delivery truck is a part of fixed asset so it will not impact the current assets. However, part of cash payment made for the truck will reduce the current asset. Signing a promissory note for a period of more than one year is a part of non-current liability. Therefore, it will not have any impact on the current liabilities.
New values:
Current assets = $60,000 - $1,000 = $59,000
Current liabilities = $36,000
New ratio:
