Storm Weather's current ratio changed by what percentage from 2011 to 2012?
As of
Explanation / Answer
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities
Current ratio for 2011: Current assets = 1,182,925. Current liabilities = 870,570
Current ratio = 1,182,925/870,570 = 1.36
Current ratio for 2012: Current assets = 1,364,251. Current liabilities = 986,880
Current ratio = 1,364,251/986,880 = 1.38
% change in current ratio = (2012's ratio - 2011's ratio)/2011's ratio
= (1.38-1.36)/1.36
= 0.02/1.36
= 1.74%
