Explanation / Answer

Accounts Receivable (Opening Bal) = 46,200

+) Sales during the month = 135,000 + 132,000 = 267,000

–) Cash Received from Debtors = 125,400

–) Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts = 4,800

Accounts Receivable (Closing Bal) = 183,000

Cash (Opening Bal) = 25,100

+) Gift Card Sales = 8,000

+) Cash Received from Debtors = 125,400

+) Sale during the month = 11,000

–) Payments to Creditors = 90,000

–) Salaries Paid = 52,000

Cash (Closing Bal) = 27,500

Inventory (Opening Bal) = 20,000

+) Purchase during the month = 147,000

–) Sale during the month = 73,800

–) Sale during the month = 79,500

Inventory (Closing Bal) = 13,700

Current Liabilities = 103,750

1. Current Ratio :

= (Receivables + Cash + Inventory) / Current Liabilities

= (183,000 + 27,500 + 13,700) / 103,750

= 224,200 / 103,750

= 2.16

2. Quick Ratio :

= (Receivables + Cash) / Current Liabilities

= (183,000 + 27,500) / 103,750

= 210,500 / 103,750

= 2.03
