Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
Given:
Current liabilities at April 30 of $69,400
Current ratio = 1.7
a) Calculate the firm's current assets and working capital at April 30:
Use the formula below to find the firm's current assets:
current ratio= current asset/current liability
current asset = current ratio × current liability
current asset = 1.7 × $69,400
Current asset = $117,980
For working capital:
Working capital= current assets-current liability
= $117,980 - $69,400
= $48,580
Working capital = $48,580
b) Calculate the current ratio and working capital at April 30 as if the April 29 payment had not been made:
New current assets = $117,980 + $14,300 = $132,280
New current liability = $69,400 + $14,300 = $83,700
Working capital = $132,280 - $83,700 = $48,580
Current ratio = 132,280/83700 = 1.58
c) There is no change in the working capital.
The current ratio will decrease by 0.12 (1.7 - 1.58) due to payment on 29th April
