Stuart · Answer 1

Quick ratio = 1.33, NWC to Total assets = 0.15

Explanation:

Given:

Current assets = $30000

Total assets = $100,000

Inventories = $10,000

Cash = $5000

Total liabilities = $30,000

Current liabilities = $15000

Notes payable = $2000

To calculate firm's quick asset and NWC-to-Total-Assets ratios, formulas need to be applied:

Quick ratio = (Current assets-inventory) / Current liabilities

= (30000-10000) / 15000

= 1.33 (Approx)

NWC to total assets = Net working capital/Total assets

NWC=Current Assets-Current liabilities

= (30000-15000) = $15000

Hence NWC to Total assets = (15000/100,000)

= 0.15
