Answer:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
1.5 = 54,000 / Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = $36,000
Calculation of Cumulative Current Ratio after
Transaction 1:
Purchase of Merchandise on Short Term Credit will increase Current
Assets and Current Liabilities.
Current Assets = $54,000 + $7,000 = $61,000
Current Liabilities = $36,000 + $7,000 = $43,000
Cumulative Current Ratio = 61,000 / 43,000
Cumulative Current Ratio = 1.42: 1
Calculation of Cumulative Current Ratio after
Transaction 2:
Purchase of Delivery Truck for $12,000 by paying Cash of $3,000 in
Cash and signing 2 years notes will decrease Current Assets by
$3,000 and Increase fixed Assets by $12,000 and Increase Long term
Liabilities by $9,000.
Current Assets = $61,000 - $3,000 = $58,000
Current Liabilities = $43,000
Cumulative Current Ratio = 58,000 / 43,000
Cumulative Current Ratio = 1.35: 1
