  8. Typicalexamquestion You may be given a case study in the exam asking you about, or what is working capital. Here is a typical example Question: Go-Faster Sports is a high street retailer. Look at its balance sheet below and calculate its working capital click

  9. Current ratio Lenders need to know that Go Faster will be able to repay any credit they are given in the short term. The company provides information on its ability to meet its short-term debts by publishing its current ratio. This assesses how many times it could afford to pay its current liabilities out of its current assets. Here is the equation you should learn: current ratio= currentassets/ currentliabilities Q. Now look at Go Faster Sports balance sheet and calculate its current ratio using this formula. click You will see that it is: £30,000 / £5,000 = 6 / 1 = 6:1 This ratio will show us that it could afford to pay its liabilities six times from its current assets.

  10. Acidtest orliquidassets ratio Another measure of a company's liquidity is the acid test/liquid assets ratio. This deducts the value of currently held stock to find the company's ability to meet its liabilities immediately. Stock is the least liquid current asset so it is deducted to give a more realistic view of the company's liquidity. Learnthisequation. You may be asked to calculate the acid test ratio in an exam Acidtest orliquidassets= currentassets - closing stock / currentliabilities Question Now look at Go Faster Sport's balance sheet again and calculate the acid test / liquid assets ratio. click £30,000 - £15,000 / £5,000 =£15,000 / £5,000 =3 / 1 = 3:1 This will show us that Go Faster can afford to pay their short-term debts three times over immediately without selling any stock.
