Financial Reporting and Analysis Q201

0. The current ratio for an industry is 2.4. Data for a firm in the industry is presented below:
As on December 31 £ ‘000s
cash 120
Accounts receivable 400
Inventory 1400
Accounts payable 350
Taxes payable 250
Installment loan payable, due in three equal annual payments on June 30.600

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
    Current ratio = 2.4
    This is the same as the current ratio of the industry. Hence we can say that the company is as liquid as the industry.
