X Ltd. has a Current Ratio of 3.5: 1 and Quick Ratio of 2: 1. If the Inventories is Rs. 24,000; calculate total Current Liabilities and Current Assets.

SOLUTION


Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
= 3.5 / 1

Quick ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities
= 2 / 1

Let Current Liabilities be = x
Current Assets = 3.5 x
Quick Assets = 2 x
Stock = Current Assets − Quick Assets
24,000 = 3.5 x − 2 x
= or, 24,000 = 1.5 x

X (Current Liabilities) = 16,000
Current Liabilities  = x = Rs. 16,000
Current Assets = 3.5 x 
= 3.5 × 16,000 
= Rs. 56,000
