The following items are reported on a company’s balance sheet: cash $350,000marketable securities 50,000accounts receivable 200,000inventory 240,000accounts payable 300,000determine the (a) current ratio, and (b) quick ratio? round your answer to one digit after the decimal place.

(a) 2.8

(b) 2

Explanation:

(a)  current assets = $350,000 + $50,000 + $200,000 + $240,000

                            = $840,000

current liabilities = $300,000

Therefore,

Current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabilities

Current ratio = $840,000 ÷ $300,000

                      = 2.8

(b) quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) ÷ current liabilities

                       = ($840,000 - $240,000) ÷ $300,000

                       = 2

the answer is: guns or butter
