21. (Current Assets & Working Capital after & before the Acquisition of Stock) A firm had current liabilities of ₹ 1,25,000. It then acquired stock in trade at a cost of ₹ 25,000 on credit. After this acquisition, the current ratio 2 : 1. Determine the size of current assets and working capital after and before the inventories was acquired.
The solution of Question 21 Chapter 4 of +2-B: –
Current Liabilities before purchasing of stock on credit | = | ₹ 1,25,000 |
Stock purchase on credit | = | ₹ 25,000 |
Current Liabilities after the purchase of stock on credit | = | ₹ 1,50,000 |
Current Ratio after the purchase of stock | = | 2: 1 |
If Current Liabilities | = | ₹ 1,50,000 or 1 |
Current Assets | = | ₹ 1,50,000 x 2 |
= | ₹ 3,00,000 | |
Current Assets before Purchase of stock | = | ₹ 3,00,000 – ₹ 25,000 |
= | ₹ 2,75,000 |
Working Capital
Before Purchase of stock
Working Capital | = | Current Assets – Current Liability |
= | ₹ 2,75,000 – ₹ 1,25,000 | |
= | ₹ 1,50,000 |
After Purchase of stock
Working Capital | = | Current Assets – Current Liability |
= | ₹ 2,75,000 – ₹ 1,25,000 | |
= | ₹ 1,50,000 |
