Answer

Current Assets BreakdownDr.Cr.Debtors40,000Cash Balance24,000Closing Stock (Inventory)96,000
Current Assets = Cash (Rs.24,000) + Debtors (Rs.40,000) + Closing Stock (Rs.96,000)

i) Current Ratio

The Current Ratio is calculated as: Given:

  • Current Assets = Cash (Rs. 24,000) + Debtors (Rs. 40,000) + Closing Stock (Rs. 96,000) = Rs. 160,000
  • Current Liabilities = Creditors (Rs. 80,000)


ii) Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio)

The Quick Ratio excludes closing stock (inventory) from current assets: Where Quick Assets = Cash (Rs. 24,000) + Debtors (Rs. 40,000) = Rs. 64,000

iii) Sales Amount

The Debtors Turnover Ratio is given as 10 times. This ratio is calculated as: Assuming Average Debtors = Closing Debtors (Rs. 40,000) (since opening debtors are not given, we use closing debtors as a proxy):

Sales Calculation (Debtors Turnover)Dr.Cr.To Cash24,000To Debtors40,000By Sales64,000
Sales = Debtors Turnover × Average Debtors (10 × Rs.40,000 = Rs.400,000)

Total Sales = Credit Sales (Rs. 400,000) + Cash Sales (not given, but since only debtors turnover is provided, we assume all sales are on credit unless stated otherwise). Thus, Sales Amount = Rs. 400,000.


iv) Gross Profit Ratio

The Gross Profit Ratio is calculated as: Given:

  • Gross Profit = Rs. 80,000
  • Sales = Rs. 400,000
Sales (50%)Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) (40%)Gross Profit (10%)
Gross Profit = Sales (Rs.400,000) - COGS (Rs.320,000)


v) Net Profit Ratio

The Net Profit Ratio is calculated as: Given:

  • Net Profit = Rs. 50,000
  • Sales = Rs. 400,000
