Average Accounts Receivable: (P900,000 ÷ P1,000,000) ÷ 2 P 950,000
Average inventory; (P1.1M + P1.2M) ÷ 2 P1,150,000
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.

. Answer: A
Acid-Test Ratio: Liquid Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
(P440,000 ÷ P244,000) = 1.80:1.00

. Answer: D
AR Turnover: Credit sales ÷ Average AR
6,500,000/650,000 = 10.0 times
clxxxiii
. Answer: C
Accounts Receivable Turnover: Net Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivable
P1,500,000 ÷ [(P200,000 + P400,000) ÷ 2] = 5.0 times

. Answer: D
Average Daily Sales: Annual credit sales ÷ Days’ Year
P4 million ÷ 360 days = P11,111
Alternative Computation:
Average daily cost of goods sold: = (P2,400,000 ÷ 365) P6,575.34
Turnover in Days: P624,000 ÷ P6,575.34 94.9 days
