Answer key: Current Ratio worksheet

  1. 1. Current ratio: 1.61

    1. Divide current assets by current liabilities. This shows how many dollars you have for each dollar due this year

      $225,000.00$140,000.00=1.607143
    2. Subtract to get working capital, the dollar cushion between the two

      $225,000.00−$140,000.00=$85,000.00
    3. Take out inventory and prepaid expenses, because they are slow or impossible to turn into cash. What is left is quick assets

      $225,000.00−$57,500.00−$3,800.00=$163,700.00
    4. Divide quick assets by current liabilities to get the quick (acid-test) ratio

      $163,700.00$140,000.00=1.169286
    5. Divide cash by current liabilities to see how much of each dollar owed cash alone covers

      $25,000.00$140,000.00=0.178571
