The current ratio of a firm is 2:1 and quick ratio is 1:1. If liabilities are Rs1,00,000 then find the value of working capital.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Given information:

  • Current Ratio = 2:1
  • Quick Ratio = 1:1
  • Current Liabilities = Rs 1,00,000

Using the Current Ratio formula:

Current Ratio=Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities\text{Current Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Assets}}{\text{Current Liabilities}}

21=Current Assets1,00,000\frac{2}{1} = \frac{\text{Current Assets}}{1,00,000}

Current Assets = 2 × 1,00,000 = Rs 2,00,000


Calculating Working Capital:

Working Capital=Current Assets−Current Liabilities\text{Working Capital} = \text{Current Assets} - \text{Current Liabilities}

Working Capital = 2,00,000 - 1,00,000 = Rs 1,00,000


The given Quick Ratio of 1:1 confirms this calculation. With Quick Assets equal to Current Liabilities (Rs 1,00,000), the difference between Current Assets (Rs 2,00,000) and Quick Assets (Rs 1,00,000) represents Inventory of Rs 1,00,000, which is a reasonable composition of current assets.

Answer: Rs 1,00,000 (Option 3)
