The Nelson Company has $1,312,500 in current assets and $525,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $375,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 2.0? What will be the firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds? Ehrhardt, Michael C ... Corporate Finance: A Focused Approach (MindTap Course List) (p. 130).

    Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

    Quick ratio = Current assets-Inventories/current liabilities

    Current ratio = 1,312,500/525,000 = 2.5

    If the firm wants to raise funds as additional note payable without icreasing its current ratio of 2:

    Current ratio = (Current assets+NP) / (Current liab.+NP)

    2 = (1,312,500+NP) / (525,000+NP)

    NP = 262,500; Additinal Note payable can be maximum of 262,500

    Quick ratio = (1,312,500 - (375,000+262,500)) / 787,500 = 1.19
