    This question might be dull-witted.

    There is only term in numerator: current assets. And one term in denominator: current liabilities.

    An ideal current ratio is 2:1.

    So how can mcqs options include 2:3:1 or 1:5:1 as choices??? And even some data given for the question has these current ratios.

    What’s the third term for?

    Firstly there is no ‘ideal’ current ratio – it depends on the nature of the business.

    Secondly, there is no third term. The ratio might be 2.3: 1 (which is 2.3 to 1, and is the same as 2.3).

    Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
