    Binny Co has annual sales of $960,000 and a current ratio of 3.2:1. All of its sales are for cash and are priced at a mark-up on cost of 50%. The average cash balance is $40,000 and the inventory turnover period is 90 days. Assuming 360 days in a year, what is Binny Co’s quick ratio (acid test ratio)?

    answer 0.64

    100/150 * 960000 = 640000
    640000 * 90/360 = 160000

    liabilities = (160000+40000)/3.2 = 62500

    quick ratio = (200000-4000)/62500 = 0.64

    my question is why does the cash $960000 is not included in the quick ratio? when the formula of quick ratio is (current assets-inventory)/current liabilities, when the cash is a current asset

    The cash balance is already included in the calculation of current assets. Therefore, the cash amount of $960,000 is already considered in the quick ratio calculation.
