Chapter 14, Problem 14.3BE

A)

To determine

Financial Ratios: Financial ratios are the metrics used to evaluate the liquidity, capabilities, profitability, and overall performance of a company.

To compute: Current ratio

Given info: Total current assets and current liabilities.

B)

To determine

Acid-Test Ratio: This ratio denotes that this ratio is a more rigorous test of solvency than the current ratio. It is determined by dividing quick assets and current liabilities. The acceptable acid-test ratio is 0.90 to 1.00. Use the following formula to determine the acid-test ratio:

$\text{Acid Ratio}=\frac{\text{Quick assets}}{\text{Current}\text{liabilities}}$

Quick Assets are those assets that are most liquid. The examples of quick assets include cash and bank balances, marketable securities, and sundry debtors.

To calculate: Acid-test ratio

Given info: Current assets and current liabilities
