Question 11:
Current Liabilities of a company were `1,75,000 and its Current Ratio was 2: 1. It paid `30,000 to a Creditor. Calculate Current Ratio after payment.
Answer:
Current Ratio= 2:1 before payment to Creditor
Current Liabilities = `1,75,000 before payment to Creditor
Current Assets = (`1,75,000×2)=3,50,000 before payment to Creditor
Current Ratio After payment to Creditor
=3,50,000-30,000/1,75,000-30,000
Current Ratio = 3,20,000/1,45,000
Current Ratio = 2.21/1
Question 12:
Ratio of Current Assets (`3,00,000) to Current Liabilities ( `2,00,000) is 1.5:1. The accountant of the firm is interested in maintaining a Current Ratio of 2:1 by paying off a part of the Current Liabilities. Compute amount of the Current Liabilities that should be paid so that the Current Ratio at the level of 2:1 may be maintained.
Answer:
Current ratio= Current assets/Current liabilities=1.5:1
The company is interested in maintaining the Current Ratio of 2:1 by paying off the liability.
Let the liability paid-off by the company = x
∴ New Current Assets = 3,00,000 − x
New Current Liabilities = 2,00,000 − x
New Current ratio= 3,00,000-x/2,00,000-x=2:1
Or 3,00,000-3x=4,00,000-2x
Or 1,00,000
Therefore, liability of `1,00,000 need to be paid-off by the company in order to maintain the Current Ratio of 2 : 1.
Question 13:
Ratio of Current Assets ( `8,75,000) to Current Liabilities ( `3,50,000) is 2.5:1. The firm wants to maintain Current Ratio of 2:1 by purchasing goods on credit. Compute amount of goods that should be purchased on credit.
Answer:
Current Assets = ` 8,75,000
Current Liabilities = ` 3,50,000
Current Ratio = 2.5:1
The business is interested to maintain its Current Ratio at 2:1 by purchasing
goods on credit.
Let the amount of goods purchased on credit be ‘x’
Current Liabilities = ` 3,50,000 + x
Current Assets = ` 8,75,000 + x
Current ratio= Current assets/Current liabilities=8,75,,000+x/3,50,000+x=2/1
8,75,000 + x = 7,00,000 + 2x
8,75,000 – 7,00,000 = 2x – x
1,75,000 = x
Therefore, goods worth ` 1,75,000 must be
purchased on credit to maintain the current ratio at 2:1.
Question 14:
A firm had Current Assets of `5,00,000. It paid Current Liabilities of `1,00,000 and the Current Ratio became 2:1. Determine Current Liabilities and Working Capital before and after the payment was made.
Answer:
Firm disposed off liabilities of `
1,00,000 which results in decrease in current liabilities and current assets by
the same amount.
After disposing liabilities:
Current Assets = ` 4,00,000 ( `
5,00,000 – ` 1,00,000)
And, Let Current Liabilities be (x – ` 1,00,000)
Current ratio= Current assets/Current liabilities=4,00,000/x-1,00,000=2:1
4,00,000 = 2x – 2,00,000
6,00,000 = 2x
Therefore, x = 3,00,000
Current Liabilities after payment = x – ` 1,00,000 = `
2,00,000
Working Capital after Payment = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
= ` 4,00,000 – `
2,00,000 = ` 2,00,000
Current Assets before payment = ` 5,00,000
Current Liabilities before Payment = ` 3,00,000
Therefore, Working Capital Before Payment = Current Assets – Current
Liabilities
= ` 5,00,000 – `
3,00,000 = ` 2,00,000
Question 15: A firm had Current Liabilities of ` 5,40,000. It purchased stock of `60,000 on credit. After the purchase of stock Current Ratio was 2 : 1. Calculate Current Assets and Working Capital after and before the stock was purchased.
Answer:
(Before) Current Liabilities of `5,40,000.
Current Ratio was 2:1 (After the purchase of stock)
(Before) Current Assets = ? (x)
2/1=x+60,000/5,40,000+60,000
x+60,000=10,80,000+1,20,000
x=12,00,000-60,000
(Before) Current Assets x=11,40,000
(After) Current Assets x=11,40,000+60,000=12,00,000
(After) Current Liabilities of `5,40,000+60,000=6,00,000
Working Capital after purchase=12,00,000-6,00,000=6,00,000
Working Capital before purchase=11,40,000-5,40,000=6,00,000
