Math Problem Statement

Find the Quick Ratio of the company Total Current Assets: PHP 100,000.00 Total Current Liabilities: PHP 23,000.00 Inventory: PHP 28,900.00

Solution

The Quick Ratio, also known as the Acid-Test Ratio, is a measure of a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. It is calculated using the formula:

Quick Ratio=Total Current AssetsInventoryTotal Current Liabilities\text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{\text{Total Current Assets} - \text{Inventory}}{\text{Total Current Liabilities}}

Given:

  • Total Current Assets = PHP 100,000.00
  • Total Current Liabilities = PHP 23,000.00
  • Inventory = PHP 28,900.00

Let's substitute these values into the formula:

Quick Ratio=100,00028,90023,000\text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{100,000 - 28,900}{23,000}

Now, let's compute the value.The Quick Ratio of the company is approximately 3.09.

This means the company has about 3.09 PHP in liquid assets (excluding inventory) for every 1 PHP of its current liabilities.
