SET = END
N = 10
I =8.7
PV= SOLVE = -7815.8
FV = 18000
Since the present value of Rs. 18000 after ten years hence is less than Rs. 8000. Therefore we prefer Rs.
8000 now. Hence option A is correct.

5. _____________ measures the ability of the firm to meet its current liabilities from the
current assets.
A. Current Ratio
B. Acid Test Ratio
C. Turnover Ratios
D. All of the above
Answer 41
Current Liabilities are Rs. 60,000 and Current Ratio is 2.5:1,
Therefore, Current Assets = Rs. 60,000 *2.5 = Rs. 1,50,000
After the payment of Rs. 20,000
Current Assets = Rs. 1,50,000 – Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 1,30,000
Current Liabilities = Rs. 60,000 – Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 40,000
Current Ratio = Rs. 1,30,000 = 3.25:1
Rs.40,000
Answer 42
Current liabilities = Total Debt – Long term debt
= Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 70,000 = Rs. 30,000
Answer 44
Gross Profit is 25% on cost. Therefore goods costing Rs. 100 is sold for Rs. 125.
Hence, If sales are Rs. 125, Cost of sales = Rs. 100
If sales are Rs. 2,00,000 , Cost of Sales = 100 * 2,00,000 = Rs. 1,60,000
125
Closing stock is 30% of sales
Closing Stock = 30 * 2,00,000 = Rs. 60,000
100
Opening Stock = 1 * 60,000 =Rs. 20,000

Average Stock 40,000
Answer 45
Cost of sales = Sales- Gross Profit
= Rs. 3,20,000 – 25% of 3,20,000
= Rs. 3,20,000 – 80,000 = Rs. 2,40,000

Average Debtors
9 = Rs. 5,40,000

9
Opening Debtors = Rs. 60,000 – ½ of Rs. 8,000 = Rs. 56,000
Closing Debtors = Rs. 60,000 +1/2 of Rs. 8,000 = Rs.64,000
Answer 47
Gross Profit Ratio = Rs. 30,000 *100 = 25%
Rs. 1,20,000
