PURPOSE
To calculate and analyze the current and quick (acid-test) ratios of different businesses.
Potz and Pans, a small gift shop, has current assets of $45,000 (including inventory valued at $30,000) and $9,000 in current liabilities. WannaBees, a specialty clothing store, has current assets of $150,000 (including inventory valued at $125,000) and $85,000 in current liabilities. Both businesses have applied for loans. Click the Calculators box on the toolbar at www.bankrate .com and then click on Small
Business to answer the following questions:
1. Calculate the current ratio for each company. Which company is more likely to get the loan? Why?
2. The acid-test ratio subtracts the value of the firm's inventory from its total current assets. Because inventory is often difficult to sell, this ratio is considered an even more reliable measure of a business's ability to repay loans than the current ratio. Calculate the acid-test ratio for each business and decide whether you would give either the loan. Why or why not?
