Calculate the Current Ratio from the following information:
Particulars (Rs.) Inventories 50,000 Trade receivables 50,000 Advance tax 4,000 Cash and cash equivalant 30,000 Trade payables 1,00,000 Short-term borrowings (bank overdraft) 4,000
Calculate the Current Ratio from the following information:
| Particulars | (Rs.) |
|---|---|
| Inventories | 50,000 |
| Trade receivables | 50,000 |
| Advance tax | 4,000 |
| Cash and cash equivalant | 30,000 |
| Trade payables | 1,00,000 |
| Short-term borrowings (bank overdraft) | 4,000 |
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Current Ratio measures the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.
Formula: Current Ratio =
Calculation of Current Assets:
Inventories + Trade receivables + Advance tax + Cash and cash equivalent
= 50,000 + 50,000 + 4,000 + 30,000 = Rs. 1,34,000
Note: Advance tax is a current asset as it represents a payment made in advance that will be adjusted against tax liability.
Calculation of Current Liabilities:
Trade payables + Short-term borrowings (bank overdraft)
= 1,00,000 + 4,000 = Rs. 1,04,000
Current Ratio:
= = 1.288 = 1.29:1 (rounded to two decimal places)
