A company has $28,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $88,000 in shortminusterm investments, $122,000 in net current receivables, $64,000 in inventory, $14,000 of prepaid insurance and $11,000 of supplies. The total current liabilities of the firm are $304,000. The quick ratio of the company is: (Round your final answer to two decimal places.)

Given: Cash and Cash Equivalents = $28,000

           Short term investments = $88,000

           Net Current Receivables = $122,000

           Inventory = $64,000

           Prepaid Insurance = $14,000

           Supplies = $11,000

           Total current liabilities = $304,000

To Calculate: Quick Ratio

Solution: Quick ratio for a company represents it's ability to pay off it's current liabilities as and when they accrue. The ratio is computed as,

=

Quick assets are those assets which can be quickly convertible into cash within a period of 90 days.

Quick Assets = Cash and cash equivalents + short term investments + current accounts receivables + marketable securities

Thus, Quick Assets = $28000 + 88,000 + 122,000 = $ 238,000

        Current Liabilities = $304,000

Thus, Quick Ratio = = 0.78 approx.
