(A) ₹ 20,000
(B) ₹ 40,000
(C) ₹ 80,000
(D) ₹ 4,000
Hint:
Current Ratio = \(\frac{\text { Current Assets }}{\text { Current Liabilities }}\)
\(\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{5}\)
x = 0.4y
\(\frac{1}{5}=\frac{0.4 y-4,000}{y}\)
y = 2y – 20,000
y = Current Liabilities = 20,000
Answer:
(A) ₹ 20,000

Question 2.

Question 3.
Dec 2014: From the following information find the value of closing stock
Stock velocity: 6 months Gross profit ratio: 25%
Gross profit for the year ended 31st March 2014: ₹ 1,00,000
Closing stock for the period – ₹ 20,000 more than it was at the beginning of the year.
(A) ₹ 1,50,000
(B) ₹ 1,40,000
(C) ₹ 1,60,000
(D) ₹ 70,000
Hint:
Gross Profit Ratio = \(\frac{\text { Gross Profit }}{\text { Sales }}\) × 100
25%= \(\frac{1,00,000}{\text { Sales }}\) × 100
Sales = 4,00,000
Cost of goods sold = 4,00,000 – 1,00,000 = 3,00,000
Stock Velocity = \(\frac{\text { Average Stock }}{\text { Cost of goods sold }}\) × 12
6 = \(\frac{\text { Average Stock }}{3,00,000}\) × 12
Average Stock = 1,50,000

Let Opening stock be = x
Closing stock = x + 20,000
Average Stock = \(\frac{\text { Opening Stock }+\text { Closing Stock }}{2}\)
1,50,000 = \(\frac{x+(x+20,000)}{2}\)
3,0, 000 = 2x + 20,000
2,80,000 = 2x
x = Opening stock = 1,40,000
Closing stock = 1,40,000 + 20,000 = 1,60,000
Answer:

2 = \(\frac{x}{40,000}\)
x = 80,000
Quick Ratio = \(\frac{\text { Current Assets – Stock }}{\text { Current Liabilities }}\)
1.8 = \(\frac{80,000-\text { Stock }}{40,000}\)
72,000 = 80,000 – Stock

x – y = 1,00,000
3y – y = 1,00,000
2y= 1,00,000
2y = 50,000

x = 2.5y
Current Assets – Current Liabilities = Working Capital
2.5y – y = 75,000 1.5y = 75,000
y = Current Liabilities = 50,000
x = Current Assets = 1,25,000
Let the stock be ‘x’.
Liquid Ratio = \(\frac{\text { Current Assets – Stock }}{\text { Current Liabilities }}\)
