On the basis of above information, Liquid Ratio will be.......

Options:

1.75 : 1

2:1

3.25 : 1

3:1

Correct Answer:

1.75 : 1

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- 1.75 : 1.

* Current Assets = Cash + Inventory + prepaid expenses + trade receivables
                            = 5,000 + 50,000 + 10,000 + 65,000
                            = 1,30,000

* Quick assets = Current Assets - Inventory - prepaid expenses
                       = 1,30,000 - 50,000 - 10,000
                       = ₹70,000

* Current Liabilities = Trade payables of ₹40,000

Thus, Liquid ratio = Quick assets / Current liabilities
                             =  70,000/40,000
                             = 1.75 :1
