Explanation / Answer

525,000 Current Assets       2,625,000.00 Current Liabilities       1,050,000.00 Let The money raised from STD be x 2 = (2625000 + x)/(1050000+x) 2100,000+2x = 2625000 + x x = 525,000 Carlson’s short-term debt (notes payable)can increase by 525,000 without pushing its current ratio below 2.0 None of the above. Quick Ratio = Quick Assets/CL Quick Ratio = (CA-Inventory)/CL Quick Ratio = (2625000 - 750000)/(1050000 + 525000) Quick Ratio = 1875000/1575000 Quick Ratio = 1.19 None of the above.
