Calculate the Current Ratio from the following information:

Particulars(Rs.)
Inventories50,000
Trade receivables50,000
Advance tax4,000
Cash and cash equivalant30,000
Trade payables1,00,000
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 = Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities\frac{\text{Current Assets}}{\text{Current Liabilities}}


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:

= 1,34,0001,04,000\frac{1,34,000}{1,04,000} = 1.288 = 1.29:1 (rounded to two decimal places)
