The King Carpet Company has
$3,040,000
in cash and a total of
$12,230,000
in current assets. The firm's current liabilities equal
$5,080,000
such that the firm's current ratio equals
2.4.
The company's managers want to reduce the firm's cash holdings down to
$1,070,000
by paying
$503,000
in cash to expand the firm's truck fleet and using
$1,467,000
in cash to retire a short-term note. If they carry this plan through, what will happen to the firm's current ratio?
