What will be an ideal response?
(a) Current assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Prepaid Rent + Prepaid Insurance + Office Supplies
$112,000 + 27,000 + $15,000 + $9,000 + $3,300 = $166,300
Current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Salaries Payable + Interest Payable + Current Portion of Long-term Debt
$25,800 + 14,500 + $2,500 + $9,000 = $51,800
(b) $166,300/$51,800 = 3.2
Blessinger Co. has a current ratio of 3.2 to 1, which means it has more than three times the current assets as current liabilities. It should have no difficulty paying its short-term debts since cash alone is more than current liabilities.
