Forums › Ask ACCA Tutor Forums › Ask the Tutor ACCA FA – FIA FFA › Why is the current ratio sometimes given as 1:3:1 or 1:5:1?
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).
