Answer 1

a. 2.50:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for Current ratio

First step is to Calculate the Total current assets :

Cash $130,000

Accounts receivables $100,000

Inventory $110,000

Prepaid insurance $60,000

Total current assets (a) $400,000

Second step is to Calculate the Total current liabilities :

Accounts payable $140,000

Salaries and wages payable $20,000

Total current liabilities (b) $160,000

Now let find the current ratio using this formula

Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Current ratio =$400,000 / $160,000

Current ratio =2.50 : 1

Therefore the Current ratio will be 2.50 : 1
