Explanation:

The computation of the current ratio is shown below:

Current ratio = Current assets : Current liabilities

where,

Current assets is

= Cash + marketable securities + account receivable + prepaid expense + inventory

= $10,000 + $20,000 + $30,500 + $2,000 + $34,000

= $96,500

And, the current liabilities is account payable i. e $45,000

So, the current ratio is

= $96,500 : $45,000

= 2.14 times

We simply applied the above formula
