Question:26
Quick Ratio of a company is 2:1. State giving reasons, which of the following transactions would

(i) improve,
(ii) reduce,
(iii) Not change the Quick Ratio:
(a)
Purchase of goods for cash;

(b)
Purchase of goods on credit;

(c)
Sale of goods costing 10, 000
for 10,000;

(d)
Sale of goods costing 10, 000
for 11,000;

(e) Cash received from Trade Receivables.
Solution:

Quick Ratio = 2:1
Let Quick Assets be = Rs 20,000
Current Liabilities = Rs 10,000
(a)
Purchase of goods for Cash- Reduce
Reason: This transaction will result decrease in cash and increases in stock. Liquid Asset will decrease due payment for goods purchased.
Example: Purchase of goods Rs 5,000 for cash
Quick Assets = 20,000 − 5,000 Cash
= Rs 15,000
Accounting Ratios (Part - 2) | TS Grewal Solutions - Class 12 Accountancy - Commerce
(b)
Purchase of goods on Credit- Reduce
Reason: Purchase of goods on credit will result increase in Current Liabilities and no change in Quick Assets.
Example: Purchase of goods on Credit Rs 5,000
Current Liabilities = 10,000 + 5,000 Creditors
= Rs15,000
Accounting Ratios (Part - 2) | TS Grewal Solutions - Class 12 Accountancy - Commerce
(c)
Sale of goods for Rs 10,000- Improve
Reason: Sale of goods will result in increase in Quick Assets by the amount of Rs 10,000 in the form of either in cash or debtor. This transaction will result no change in current liabilities.
Accounting Ratios (Part - 2) | TS Grewal Solutions - Class 12 Accountancy - Commerce
(d)
Sale of goods costing Rs 10,000 of or Rs 11,000- Improve
Reason: This transaction will increase the Quick Assets by Rs 11,000 in the form of either in cash or debtors but no effect on the Current Liabilities.
Quick Assets after sale of goods = 20,000 + 11,000 = Rs 31,000
Accounting Ratios (Part - 2) | TS Grewal Solutions - Class 12 Accountancy - Commerce
(e)
Cash received from debtors- No change

Question:29
Total Assets 22,00,000; Fixed Assets 10,00,000; Capital Employed 20,00,000. There were no Long-term Investments. Calculate Current Ratio.
Solution:
Current Assets = Total Assets − Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets = 10,00,000
Total Assets = 22,00,000
∴ Current Assets = 22,00,000 − 10,00,000 = 12,00,000
Current Liabilities = Total Assets − Capital Employed
= 22,00,000 − 20,00,000 = 2,00,000

Accounting Ratios (Part - 2) | TS Grewal Solutions - Class 12 Accountancy - Commerce
Compute Current Ratio and Liquid Ratio
Solution:
Current Assets = Inventory + Trade Receivables + Cash and Cash Equivalents
= 50,000 + 30,000 + 20,000 = 1,00,000
Current Liabilities = Short-term Borrowings + Trade Payables + Provision for Tax
= 3,000 + 13,000 + 4,000 = 20,000
Quick Assets = Trade Receivables + Cash and Cash Equivalents
= 30,000 + 20,000 = 50,000

Comments:
1. Ideal Current Ratio for a business is considered to be 2:1. But in this case the ratio is quite high i.e. 5:1. This may be due to the following reasons:
(i) Blockage of Funds in Stock
(ii) High Amount outstanding from Debtors
(iii) Huge Cash and Bank Balances
2. Ideal Quick Ratio of a business is supposed to be 1:1. This implies that Liquid Assets should be equal to the Current Liabilities. But in the given case Quick Ratio is 2.5 : 1 which indicates that the Liquid Assets are quite high in comparison to the Current Liabilities.

Question:32
From the following calculate:
(i) Current Ratio; and
(ii) Quick Ratio:

Accounting Ratios (Part - 2) | TS Grewal Solutions - Class 12 Accountancy - Commerce
Solution:
(i) Current Ratio
Current Assets = Total Assets - Fixed Assets - Non-Current Investment- Long term Loans and Advances
= 8,00,000 - 3,00,000 - 50,000 - 50,000 = Rs 4,00,000
Current Liabilities = Total Debt - Non - Current Liabilities
= 6,00,000 - 2,00,000 - 2,00,000 = Rs 2,00,000
Accounting Ratios (Part - 2) | TS Grewal Solutions - Class 12 Accountancy - Commerce
(ii) Quick Ratio
Quick Assets = Current Assets - Stock - Prepaid Expenses
= 4,00,000 - 95, 000 − 5, 000 = Rs 3,00,000

FAQs on Accounting Ratios (Part - 2) - TS Grewal Solutions - Class 12 Accountancy - Commerce

1. What are accounting ratios and why are they important in commerce?
Ans. Accounting ratios are mathematical calculations that are used to analyze and interpret financial statements. They provide useful insights into a company's financial performance, liquidity, profitability, and solvency. Accounting ratios are important in commerce because they help in making informed business decisions, evaluating the financial health of a company, comparing performance with industry standards, and identifying areas of improvement or potential risks.
2. How can accounting ratios be used to assess a company's liquidity?
Ans. Accounting ratios can be used to assess a company's liquidity by analyzing ratios such as the current ratio and the quick ratio. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities and helps determine if a company has enough short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities. The quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, is calculated by dividing quick assets (current assets minus inventory) by current liabilities, and provides a more stringent measure of liquidity by excluding inventory. By analyzing these ratios, one can assess a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations.
3. How do accounting ratios help in evaluating a company's profitability?
Ans. Accounting ratios play a crucial role in evaluating a company's profitability. Ratios such as the gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and net profit margin help in assessing a company's ability to generate profits from its operations. The gross profit margin is calculated by dividing gross profit by sales revenue, indicating the percentage of sales revenue that remains after deducting the cost of goods sold. The operating profit margin measures a company's operating efficiency by dividing operating profit by sales revenue. Lastly, the net profit margin reflects the overall profitability of a company by dividing net profit by sales revenue. These ratios help in comparing profitability across different companies and industries.
4. How can accounting ratios be used to assess a company's solvency?
Ans. Accounting ratios can be used to assess a company's solvency by analyzing ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio and the interest coverage ratio. The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated by dividing total liabilities by shareholders' equity, providing an indication of the proportion of a company's funding that comes from debt. A high debt-to-equity ratio may indicate higher financial risk. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by interest expense, and helps determine if a company has enough operating income to cover its interest payments. These ratios help in evaluating a company's ability to meet its long-term financial obligations.
5. How do accounting ratios assist in comparing a company's performance with industry standards?
Ans. Accounting ratios are useful in comparing a company's performance with industry standards by providing benchmarks for evaluation. By analyzing ratios such as the return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and inventory turnover ratio, one can assess how efficiently a company is utilizing its assets, generating returns for its shareholders, and managing its inventory in comparison to industry norms. These ratios help in identifying areas of strength or weakness and serve as a basis for improving performance and maintaining competitiveness within the industry.
