(Round ratios to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.58: 1.) (a) Working capital (b) Current ratio (c) Acid-test ratio

Explanation / Answer

a) Working capital = current assets - current liabilites

= $45,500,000 - $39,760,000

= $5,740,000

b) Current ratio = current assets/ current liabilities

= $45,500,000 / $39,760,000

= 1.14:1

c) Acid test ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities

    = ($45,500,000 - $14,980,000) / $39,760,000

= $30,520,000 / $39,760,000

= 0.77 : 1
