cash $1,250
total $76,250
Equity and liabilities
capital and reserve $67,500
current liabilities ( payables only) $60,000
total $107500
what is the acid test ratio?
A. 0.6875 B.0.7093 C.1.2708 D.2.0 ( correct answer is A)
my working :
the ratio of current assets less inventories / current liabilities
76250 - 35000 / 60000 = 0.6875 my answer is A
Sir, may i know to less inventory because the total CA is included costs of inventory therefore need to exclude it ?
if my working as the following is the same concept?
40000 + 1250 / 60000 = 0.6875
thank you

It does not matter which way you do your workings (workings are not looked at in the marking - only the answer).
Since for the acid-test ratio, the top figure is "current assets less inventories" that is always exactly the same as the "total of all current assets except for inventories".
