Suggested Answer: D

What Is the Current Ratio?

The current ratio measures an entity's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. The formula is: CurrentRatio=TotalCurrentAssetsTotalCurrentLiabilitiestext{Current Ratio} = frac{text{Total Current Assets}}{text{Total Current Liabilities}}CurrentRatio=TotalCurrentLiabilitiesTotalCurrentAssets

Calculation:

Total Current Assets = $1,320

Total Current Liabilities = $810

CurrentRatio=1,320810text{Current Ratio} = frac{1,320}{810}CurrentRatio=8101,320 CurrentRatio1.63text{Current Ratio} 1.63CurrentRatio1.63

Why the Current Ratio Matters:

A current ratio above 1 indicates that the entity has more current assets than current liabilities, suggesting good short-term liquidity.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A . 0.61, B. 0.98, C. 1.14: These values result from incorrect calculations or misinterpretations of the formula.

Reference and Documents:

GAO Financial Analysis Guide: Provides guidance on using the current ratio to assess liquidity.

GASB Financial Reporting Requirements: Highlights the importance of liquidity measures in government financial statements.

I feel like I might be overthinking this. The current ratio should definitely be greater than 1 if the assets are sufficient, but I can’t remember the exact calculation steps.

I think the current ratio is just current assets divided by current liabilities, right? So it should be $1,320 divided by $810.

I think I've got it figured out. The current ratio is calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities. Based on the information given, the current ratio is 0.98. I'm confident in this answer.

Wait, I'm not sure I'm following this correctly. Shouldn't we be looking at the total assets and total liabilities to calculate the current ratio? This seems too straightforward.

Hey, as long as they're not charging us an arm and a leg for parking, I'm good with it. Though I'm pretty sure the current ratio is still going to be higher than my parking ticket fees.
