Compute the following ratios for the current year:

7. Current ratio

8. Acid-test ratio

9. Inventory turnover

10. Gross profit percentage

Current ratio- The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year

Acid Test Ratio- The acid test, orquick ratio, shows if a company has, or can get, enough cash to pay its immediate liabilities, such as short-term debt.

Inventory Turnover- Inventory turnover is the rate that which inventory stock is sold, or used, and replaced. The inventory turnover ratio iscalculated by dividing the cost of goods by the average inventory for the same period. A higher ratio tends to point to strong sales and a lower one too weak sale

Gross Profit Percentage- The gross profit margin is a metric used to assess a firm's financial health and is equal to the revenue less the cost of goods sold as a percent of total revenue.

Current Ratio- Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= 68,800/ 53,200

=1.29 times

Acid Test Ratio- (Current Assets – Inventory)/Current Liabilities

=(68,800- 30,800)/53,200

= 0.7143 or 71.43%

Inventory Turnover- Cost of Goods Sold/ Average Inventory

= 126,000/[(30,800+27,600)]/2

=126,000/29,200

=4.32 times

Gross Profit Percentage= (Revenue-COGS) /Revenue

= (184,800- 126,000)/184,800

=0.318 or 31.8%
