Question 1/102
The procurement manager has received the following data from the supplier's accounts to facilitate the calculation of the supplier's current ratio:
Current Assets: Stock $200; Debtors $60; Cash $40; Total $300
Short Term Liabilities: Bank overdraft $150
Which calculation will the procurement manager use to find out the current ratio?
Current Assets: Stock $200; Debtors $60; Cash $40; Total $300
Short Term Liabilities: Bank overdraft $150
Which calculation will the procurement manager use to find out the current ratio?
Correct Answer: B
The current ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities. Here, dividing $300 by $150 gives a current ratio of 2.0, indicating that the supplier has adequate current assets to cover its short- term obligations, an important factor in supplier evaluation.
