23 :- Current Ratio 4; Liquid Ratio 2.5; Inventory Rs 6,00,000. Calculate Current Liabilities, Current Assets and Liquid Assets.

Solution :-

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
               4 = C.A/C.L
         4 C.L = C.A —- Eq 1

Quick Ratio = Quick Assets/Current Liabilities
           2.5    =   Current Assets – Inventories/Current Liabilities
           2.5    = Current Assets – 6,00,000/Current Liabilities
        2.5 C.L = C.A – 6,00,000  — Eq 2

From Eq 1 and Eq 2
2.5 C.L = 4 C.L – 6,00,000
1.5 C.L = 6,00,000
C.L = 6,00,000/1.5
C.L = Rs 4,00,000

Putting C.L in Eq 1
4 C.L = C.A
4 x 4,00,000 = C.A
Current Assets = Rs 16,00,000

Quick Assets = Current Assets – Inventories
                     = 16,00,000 – 6,00,000
                     = Rs 10,00,000
