Question 19 Chapter 4 of +2-B
I. Liquidity Ratios
19. (Maintaining Lower Current Ratio than Existing) The ratio of Current Assets (₹ 10,00,000) to Current Liabilities (₹ 4,00,000) is 2.5 : 1. The accountant of this firm is interested in maintaining a current ratio of 2 : 1 by acquiring some part of current assets on credit. You are required to suggest him the amount of current assets which must be acquired for this purpose.
The solution of Question 19 Chapter 4 of +2-B: –
Current Ratio | = | 1.5 : 1 |
Let assume Current Assets acquired | = | ₹ x |
New Current Assets | = | ₹ 10,00,000 + x |
New Current Liabilities | = | ₹ 4,00,000 + x |
Current Liabilities | = | Current Assets |
Current Liabilities |
2: 1 | = | ₹ 10,00,000 + x |
₹ 4,00,000 + x |
₹ 10,00,000 + x | = | (₹ 4,00,000 –x) x 2 |
₹ 10,00,000 + x | = | ₹ 8,00,000 + 2x |
2x – x | = | ₹ 10,00,000 – ₹ 8,00,000 |
x | = | ₹ 2,00,000 |
Current Assets | = | ₹ 2,00,000 |
