Explanation of Solution

Current ratio: Current ratio is one of the liquidity ratios, which measures the capacity of the company to meet its short-term obligations using its current assets. Current ratio is calculated by using the formula:

Current ratio=Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities

Acid test ratio: It is a ratio used to determine a company’s ability to pay back its current liabilities by liquid assets that are current assets except inventory and prepaid expenses.

Acid test ratio=Quick AssetsCurrent Liabilities

Gross margin ratio: The percentage of gross profit generated by every dollar of net sales is referred to as gross margin ratio. This ratio measures the profitability of a company by quantifying the amount of income earned from sales revenue generated after cost of goods sold are paid. The higher the ratio, the more ability to cover operating expenses.

Formula:

Gross margin ratio=Net salesCost of goods soldNet sales

Compute current ratio, acid test ratio and gross margin ratio of Company N.
