Additional Information: 
(i) Inventories include Loose Tools of Rs. 30,000. 
(ii) Other Current Assets consist of prepaid expenses. 
Solution: 
(i) Current Ratio 
Current Assets = Inventories (except Loose Tools) + (Trade Receivables – Provision for Bad Debts) + Cash and Cash 
Equivalents + Other Current Assets 
= Rs. 1,70,000 + (Rs. 70,000 – 5,000) + Rs. 3,80,000 + Rs. 1,48,000 = Rs. 7,63,000 
Current Liabilities = Short-term Borrowings + Trade Payables + Short-term Provisions (except Provision for Bad Debts) = Rs. 
3,00,000 + Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 45,000 = Rs. 4,05,000 
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = (Rs.) 7,00,000 / Rs. 4,05,000= 1.88:1 
(ii) Quick Ratio 
Quick Assets = Current Assets – Prepaid Expenses – Inventories (except Loose Tools) = Rs. 7,63,000 – Rs. 1,48,000 – * 
1,70,000 = Rs. 4,45,000 
Quick Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities  = Rs. 4,45,000 / (Rs.) 4,05,000= 1.099:1

Ques 3 
The Current Assets of a firm are Rs. 8,00,000 and Current Liabilities are Rs. 3,00,000. The firm is interested in maintaining 
a Current Ratio of 2:1, by acquiring some current assets on credit. State the amount of current assets that should be 
acquired. 
Solution: 
Let the amount of current assets to be acquired = x 
 
    
 
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities  = 8,00,000 + x / 3,00,000 + x  = 2 
Or, 8,00,000 + x = 6,00,000 + 2x 
i. e. 8,00,000 – 6,00,000 = 2x – x 
i.e. x or Amount of current assets to be acquired =Rs. 2,00,000 
 
Ques 4 
A business has a current ratio of 3:1 and quick ratio of 1.2:1. If the working capital is Rs. 1,80,000. Calculate the total Current 
Assets and value of Stock.  
Solution: 
Current Ratio = Current Assets / current Liabilities  = 3 
Current Assets = 3 Current Liabilities 
Given: Working Capital = Rs. 1,80,000 
It means: Current Assets – Current Liabilities = Rs. 1,80,000 
{ Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities} Or, 3 Current Liabilities* – Current Liabilities = Rs. 1,80,000 {"Current 
Assets = 3 Current Liabilities} 
i.e. Current Liabilities = Rs. 90,000 
i.e. Current Assets = 3 Current Liabilities = 3 x 90,000 = Rs. 2,70,000 
Quick Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities  = 1.2 
It means: Quick Assets = 1.2 Current Liabilities = 1.2 x 90,000 = Rs. 1,08,000 
Given: Stock = Current Assets – Quick Assets 
Stock = 2,70,000 -1,08,000 = Rs. 1,62,000 
 
Ques 5 
A firm has Current Ratio of 4:1 and Quick Ratio of 2.5 :1. Assuming Inventories are Rs. 22,500; find out total Current Assets 
and total Current Liabilities. {CBSE, Delhi 200 
Solution: 
Current Ratio = Current Assets (CA) / Current Liabilities (CL) = 4 
Current Assets =4 CL 
Quick Ratio – Quick Assets / Current Liabilities  = 2.5 
Liquid Assets =2.5 CL 
Liquid Assets = Current Assets – Stock 
Or, 2.5 CL* =4 CL**- 22,500 
{'Liquid Assets = 2.5 CL; **Current Assets = 4 CL} i.e. CL or Current Liabilities = Rs. 15,000 
i.e. Current Assets = 4 Current Liabilities = 4 x 15,000 = Rs. 60,000 
 
Ques 6 
a. Calculate Debt to Equity Ratio from the following information: 
Particulars  Amt. (Rs.) 
Shareholders' Funds 10.00,000 
Total Debts 15,00,000 
Current Liabilities 2,50,000 
Solution: 
Debt to Equity Ratio =Debt / Equity 
Debt = Total Debts – Current Liabilities = Rs. 15,00,000 – Rs. 2,50,000 = Rs. 12,50,000 Equity (Shareholders' Funds) = Rs. 
10,00 000 
Debt to Equity Ratio = Rs. 12,50,000 / Rs. 10,00,000= 1.25:1 
 
b. Total Debt = Rs. 12,00,000; Current Assets = Rs. 3,00,000; Working Capital = Rs. 1,00,000; Shareholders' 
Funds = Rs. 5,00,000 
Solution: 
Debt to Equity Ratio = Debt / Equity 
Debt = Total Debt – Current Liabilities** = Rs. 12,00,000 – Rs. 2,00,000 = Rs. 10,00,000 
"Current Liabilities = Current Assets – Working Capital – Rs. 3,00,000 – Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 2,00,000 
Equity (Shareholders' Funds) = Rs. 5,00,000 
Debt to Equity Ratio =Rs. 10,00,000 / Rs. 5,00,000 = 2:1 
 
c. Total Assets = Rs. 10,00,000; Current Liabilities = Rs. 2,00,000; Equity = Rs. 3,00,000 
Solution:

Ques 3 
The Current Assets of a firm are Rs. 8,00,000 and Current Liabilities are Rs. 3,00,000. The firm is interested in maintaining 
a Current Ratio of 2:1, by acquiring some current assets on credit. State the amount of current assets that should be 
acquired. 
Solution: 
Let the amount of current assets to be acquired = x 
 
    
 
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities  = 8,00,000 + x / 3,00,000 + x  = 2 
Or, 8,00,000 + x = 6,00,000 + 2x 
i. e. 8,00,000 – 6,00,000 = 2x – x 
i.e. x or Amount of current assets to be acquired =Rs. 2,00,000

Given: Working Capital = Rs. 1,80,000 
It means: Current Assets – Current Liabilities = Rs. 1,80,000 
{ Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities} Or, 3 Current Liabilities* – Current Liabilities = Rs. 1,80,000 {"Current 
Assets = 3 Current Liabilities} 
i.e. Current Liabilities = Rs. 90,000 
i.e. Current Assets = 3 Current Liabilities = 3 x 90,000 = Rs. 2,70,000 
Quick Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities  = 1.2 
It means: Quick Assets = 1.2 Current Liabilities = 1.2 x 90,000 = Rs. 1,08,000 
Given: Stock = Current Assets – Quick Assets 
Stock = 2,70,000 -1,08,000 = Rs. 1,62,000 
 
Ques 5 
A firm has Current Ratio of 4:1 and Quick Ratio of 2.5 :1. Assuming Inventories are Rs. 22,500; find out total Current Assets 
and total Current Liabilities. {CBSE, Delhi 200 
Solution: 
Current Ratio = Current Assets (CA) / Current Liabilities (CL) = 4 
Current Assets =4 CL 
Quick Ratio – Quick Assets / Current Liabilities  = 2.5 
Liquid Assets =2.5 CL 
Liquid Assets = Current Assets – Stock 
Or, 2.5 CL* =4 CL**- 22,500 
{'Liquid Assets = 2.5 CL; **Current Assets = 4 CL} i.e. CL or Current Liabilities = Rs. 15,000 
i.e. Current Assets = 4 Current Liabilities = 4 x 15,000 = Rs. 60,000

(b) Trade Receivables  70,000 
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents  3,80,000 
(d) Other Current Assets  1,48,000 
Total  21,98,000 
Additional Information: 
(i) Inventories include Loose Tools of Rs. 30,000. 
(ii) Other Current Assets consist of prepaid expenses. 
Solution: 
(i) Current Ratio 
Current Assets = Inventories (except Loose Tools) + (Trade Receivables – Provision for Bad Debts) + Cash and Cash 
Equivalents + Other Current Assets 
= Rs. 1,70,000 + (Rs. 70,000 – 5,000) + Rs. 3,80,000 + Rs. 1,48,000 = Rs. 7,63,000 
Current Liabilities = Short-term Borrowings + Trade Payables + Short-term Provisions (except Provision for Bad Debts) = Rs. 
3,00,000 + Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 45,000 = Rs. 4,05,000 
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = (Rs.) 7,00,000 / Rs. 4,05,000= 1.88:1 
(ii) Quick Ratio

Ques 3 
The Current Assets of a firm are Rs. 8,00,000 and Current Liabilities are Rs. 3,00,000. The firm is interested in maintaining 
a Current Ratio of 2:1, by acquiring some current assets on credit. State the amount of current assets that should be 
acquired. 
Solution: 
Let the amount of current assets to be acquired = x 
 
    
 
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities  = 8,00,000 + x / 3,00,000 + x  = 2 
Or, 8,00,000 + x = 6,00,000 + 2x 
i. e. 8,00,000 – 6,00,000 = 2x – x 
i.e. x or Amount of current assets to be acquired =Rs. 2,00,000

Ques 9 
ABC Ltd. has 10% Debentures of Rs. 7,00,000. Its profit after interest and after tax is Rs. 1,68,000. Calculate Interest 
Coverage Ratio, if tax rate is 40%. 
Solution: 
Interest Coverage Ratio =Profit before Interest and Tax 
Interest on Long – Term Debt 
Profit before Interest and Tax = Rs. 3,50,000 
(WN:1)
 
Interest on Debentures = Rs. 7,00,000 x 10/100 = Rs. 70,000 
Interest Coverage Ratio = Rs. 3,50,000 / Rs. 70,000 = 5 Times 
Working Notes: 
1. Calculation of Profit before interest and Tax: It can be calculated in 2 steps: 
Step 1. Calculate "Profit after Interest and before Tax". Let Profit after Interest and before Tax be x. 
It means, Tax = 40% of x. 
 
    
 
It means: x – 40% of x = Rs. 1,68,000; or 60% of x = Rs. 1,68,000 or x = Rs. 2,80,000 
Step 2. Calculate "Profit before Interest and Tax":

= Rs. 3,50,000. 
 
Ques 10 
From the following, calculate Inventory Turnover Ratio: 
 Amt. (Rs.) 
Opening Inventory 15,000 
Revenue from Operations 2,00,000 
Closing Inventory 25,000 
Gross Profit 25% of Cost 
Solution: 
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue from Operations / Average Inventory 
Let: Cost of Revenue from Operations = x 
It means: Gross Profit = 25% of x 
We know: = Cost of Revenue from Operations + Gross Profit = Revenue from Operations 
If means, x + 25% of x = Rs. 2,00,000 
x or Cost of Revenue from Operations = Rs. 1,60,000 
Average Inventory = Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory / 2 
= RS.15,000 + RS.25,000 /2 = Rs. 20,000 
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Rs. 1,60,000 /  Rs. 20,000 = 8 Times 
 
Ques 11 
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Rs. 3,00,000; Inventory Turnover Ratio = 3 Times. Calculate the value of Opening 
Inventory and Closing Inventory in each of the following alternative cases: 
Case 1. If Closing Inventory was Rs. 1,00,000 more than the Opening Inventory. 
Case 2. If Closing Inventory was 3 times of the Opening Inventory. 
Case 3. If Closing Inventory was 3 times more than the Opening Inventory. 
Case 4. If Opening Inventory was 1/3
rd
 of the Closing Inventory. 
Solution: 
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Revenue From Operations / Average Inventory 
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Rs. 3,00,000 
3 = Rs. 3,00,000 / Average Inventory 
Average Inventory =Rs. 3,00,000 / 3= Rs. 1,00,000 
Case 1. If Closing Inventory is Rs. 1,00,000 more than the Opening Inventory 
Let Opening Inventory = x 
Closing Inventory = x + Rs. 1,00,000 
Average Inventory = Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory / 2 
Rs. 1,00,000 = × + × + (Rs.) 1,00,000 / 22 
Rs. 2,00,000 = 2 x + Rs. 1,00,000 
x or Opening Inventory = Rs. 50,000 
 Closing Inventory = Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 1,50,000 
Case 2. If Closing Inventory was 3 times of the Opening Inventory 
Let Opening Inventory = x 
Closing Inventory = 3x 
Average Inventory = Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory / 2 
Rs. 1,00,000 =× + 3× / 2 
Rs. 2,00,000 = 4x 
x or Opening Inventory = Rs. 50,000 
Closing Inventory = 3x Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 1,50,000 
Case 3. If Closing Inventory was 3 times more than the Opening Inventory

FAQs on Important Questions - Ratio Analysis - Crash Course of Accountancy - Class 12 - Commerce

1. What is ratio analysis in commerce?
Ans. Ratio analysis in commerce is a method used to evaluate the financial performance of a company by analyzing the relationship between different financial numbers. It involves calculating various ratios such as liquidity ratios, profitability ratios, and solvency ratios to assess the company's financial health and make informed business decisions.
2. How is liquidity ratio calculated?
Ans. Liquidity ratios are calculated by dividing the company's liquid assets by its short-term liabilities. The most commonly used liquidity ratios are the current ratio and the quick ratio. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities, while the quick ratio is calculated by subtracting inventory from current assets and dividing the result by current liabilities.
3. What does a high profitability ratio indicate?
Ans. A high profitability ratio indicates that a company is generating a significant amount of profit relative to its sales or investments. It suggests that the company is efficient in managing its resources, controlling costs, and generating profits. Investors and stakeholders often view high profitability ratios as a positive sign, indicating a financially sound and successful company.
4. How can solvency ratios help assess a company's long-term financial stability?
Ans. Solvency ratios help assess a company's long-term financial stability by measuring its ability to meet its long-term debt obligations. These ratios analyze the company's capital structure, debt levels, and ability to generate cash flows. High solvency ratios indicate that a company has sufficient assets and cash flows to cover its long-term debt, which is important for its sustainability and creditworthiness.
5. How can ratio analysis be used to compare companies in the same industry?
Ans. Ratio analysis can be used to compare companies in the same industry by calculating and comparing their financial ratios. This analysis allows investors, analysts, and stakeholders to assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of different companies. By comparing ratios such as profit margins, return on investment, and debt-to-equity ratios, one can gain insights into which company is more financially stable, efficient, and profitable within the industry.
