A company's current assets are Rs 600 crore, inventory is Rs 200 crore and current liabilities are Rs 400 crore. What is its quick ratio?

The quick ratio is 1.00. It is found by removing inventory of Rs 200 crore from current assets of Rs 600 crore, which leaves Rs 400 crore of liquid assets, and dividing by current liabilities of Rs 400 crore.

  1. A1.00Correct
  2. B1.50
  3. C0.50
  4. D2.00

Explanation

Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (600 - 200)/400 = 1.00. The figure 1.50 is the current ratio, which wrongly keeps inventory in the numerator. The figure 0.50 divides inventory by current liabilities.
