​Aylward, Inc. currently has $2,141,000 in current assets and $842,000 in current liabilities. The company’s managers want to increase the firm’s inventory, which will be financed by a short-term note with the bank. What level of inventories can the firm carry without its current ratio falling below 2.2?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$240,500

Explanation:

We know that

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities

= $2,141,000 ÷ $842,000

= 2.5 times

For current ratio falling below 2.2, we have to assume the borrowed amount be X

So, the equation would be

$2,141,000+ X ÷ $842,000 + X = 2.2

$2,141,000+ X = 2.2 × ($842,000 + X)

$2,141,000+ X = $1,852,400 + 2.2X

$2,141,000 - $1,852,400 = 2.2X - X

$288,600 = 1.2X

So X would be $240,500
