    Hi,

    Can you please explain how can I find the missing figure of the following current ratio calculation.

    Inv: 3945
    Rec: 8219
    Payables: 3616

    The current ratio is 1.4 and the missing figure is the overdraft which is 5073.

    How do I find 5073?

    Many Thanks

    The current assets are 3945 + 8219 = 12164

    Since the current ratio is 1.4, the current liabilities must be 12164/1.4 = 8689

    You know the payables, and so the overdraft is the remainder (8689 – 3616).
