What is the current ratio?
-
1 : 4
- 5 : 1
- 3 : 1
- 2 : 1
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
Using the Balance Sheet, the current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities:
Current assets = stock + debtors + banks + cash
current liabilities = drawings + creditors + accruals
current assets = 2000 + 1000 + 100 + 600 =3700
current liabilities = 2000 + 200 + 300 = 2500
3700 ÷ 2500 = 1.4
