Solution
Solution Steps
To compute the current ratio, you need to divide the current assets by the current liabilities. The current ratio is a measure of a company's ability to pay short-term obligations.
Step 1: Define Current Ratio
The current ratio is defined as the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, expressed mathematically as:
\[
\text{Current Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Assets}}{\text{Current Liabilities}}
\]
Step 2: Substitute Values
Given:
Current Assets = \( 50000 \)
Current Liabilities = \( 25000 \)
Substituting these values into the formula:
\[
\text{Current Ratio} = \frac{50000}{25000}
\]
Step 3: Calculate Current Ratio
Perform the division:
\[
\text{Current Ratio} = 2.0
\]
