Solution

(i) Current Ratio = Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities

= Current Assets90,000=3:1

Hence, Current Assets = 3 × Current Liabilities

= 3 × 90,000 = 2,70,000

Accountant is interested in maintaining the standard ratio i.e., 2:1 by purchasing certain asset on credit.

New Current Assets = 2,70,000+X

New Current Liabilities = 90,000+X

Quick Ratio = Quick AssetsCurrent Liabilities

= 2,70,000+X90,000+X=21

2,70,000+X=2(90,000+X)

2,70,000+X=1,80,000+2X

2,70,000- 1,80,000 = 2XX

X=2,70,000 - 1,80,000 = Rs 90,000

Therefore, Asset purchased on credit will worth Rs 90,000.

(ii) When operating ratio is 80% then operating profit ratio

= 100 - Operating Ratio

Operating Profit Ratio = 100 - 80 =20%
