Answer:

Current ratio:

Current ratio=current assets/ current liabilities

Current assets= 11 million + 55 million +40 million + 6 million= 112 million

Current liabilities= 37 million + 8 million= 45 million

Current ratio= 112 million/ 45 million= 2.49

 The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that assesses a firm's capacity to pay short-term or one-year obligations. It explains to investors and other stakeholders how a firm might use current assets on its balance sheet to pay off current debt and other obligations.

 The current ratio is called "current" because it includes all current assets and liabilities, unlike many other liquidity ratios. The working capital ratio is another name for the current ratio.

 Analysts determine the ratio by comparing a company's current assets and liabilities. Cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and other current assets (OCA) that are projected to be liquidated or converted into cash in less than one year are reported as current assets on a firm's balance sheet. Accounts payable, wages, taxes payable, short-term loans, and the current portion of long-term debt are all examples of current liabilities.

Acid-test ratio

Acid test ratio= quick assets/ current liabilities

Quick assets= 11 million+ 55 million= 66 million

Current liabilities= 45 million

Acid test ratio= 66 million/ 45 million= 1.47

The acid-test ratio (ATR), also known as the quick ratio, calculates how well current assets can pay current obligations to determine a company's liquidity. Only the most liquid current assets that can be turned into cash in 90 days or less are used in the quick ratio.

 The quick ratio is computed by dividing the total cash and equivalents, accounts receivables, and marketable investments by current liabilities.

 Companies should aim for a ratio of 1.0 or above, indicating that they have sufficient current assets to meet their short-term debt commitments or expenses.

Explanation:

Current ratio= 112 million/ 45 million= 2.49

Acid test ratio= 66 million/ 45 million= 1.47
