     INSTRUCTIONS

Compute the following liquidity measures for 2014 (round to 2 decimal places) SHOW ALL CALCULATIONS:

     1. Current ratio.

     2. Working capital.

     3. Acid-test ratio.

     4. Receivables turnover.

     5. Inventory turnover.

Explanation / Answer

1) Current ratio =current asset /current liabilities

                          = 310,000 / 210,000

                            = 1.48 :1

2)Working capital =current asset -current liabilities

                             = 310,000 - 210,000

                             = $ 100,000

3)Acid test ratio = (current asset -Inventory -prepaid expense) /current liabilities

                       = (310,000 - 100,000 -30,000 ) / 210,000

                      = 180,000/210,000

                    = .86:1

4)Receivable turnover = net credt sales /Average receivable

                                       = 800,000 /[ (100,000 +70,000)/2]

                                       = 800,000 / [170,000 /2]

                                      = 800,000 / 85000

                                      = 9.41

5)Inventory turnover = COGS/ average inventory

                                 = 400,000 / [(100,000+ 90000) /2]

                                = 400,000 / [190000/2]

                                 = 400,000/ 95000

                                = 4.21
