Interest payable 25,000
Total current liabilities P355,000

Current Ratio (740,000 ÷ 355,000) 2.08:1.00


Acid-test Ratio (300,000 ÷ 355,000) 0.85:1.00

Before any payment, the current ratio is above 1:1 and acid test ratio is below 1:1. Therefore, the current ratio shall
rise but acid test ratio shall go down. If any of these two ratios is below 1:1, the equal change in current assets and
current liabilities brings direct effect on the ratio, that is, equal increase in current assets and current liabilities causes
the ratio to rise.

The inventory amount can be calculated as follows:
Current liabilities: Working Capital = current liabilities based on 2:1 current ratio. At 2:1 current ratio, the amount of
working capital and current liabilities are both P1,120,000.

Inventory: Current liabilities x (Current ratio – Acid test ratio)
