Explanation / Answer

This ratio compares the liquid assets being held by an individual against the total assets accumulated.

Investments in stocks, mutual funds or other such investments which can be converted to cash easily are considered as liquid assets. Apart from the liquid assets, total assets also include illiquid assets such as real estate or other such investments which require more time to convert to cash. One should at least hold 20% of the total assets in the form of liquid assets.

Investment assets to Total Assets = Liquid Assets/Total Assets

Thus, Investment assets to Total Assets = (savings+stocks)/total

= (57000 + 5000) / (250000 + 57000 + 5000 + 100000)

= 0.1504

rounding off to 0,15
