Which of the following equations correctly gives the inventories in terms of the quick assets ratio, the current assets, and the current liabilities?Choose 1 answer:(A) I=QL−A(B) I=A−QL(C) I=L(Q−A)(D) I=L(A−Q)
Q. Q=LA−IThe formula gives the quick assets ratio Q in terms of a company's current assets, A; inventories, I; and current liabilities, L. Which of the following equations correctly gives the inventories in terms of the quick assets ratio, the current assets, and the current liabilities?Choose 1 answer:(A) I=QL−A(B) I=A−QL(C) I=L(Q−A)(D) I=L(A−Q)
Start with given formula: First, let's start with the given formula for the quick assets ratio:Q=(A−I)/LWe need to solve for I, which represents inventories.
Isolate I by multiplying: To isolate I, we first multiply both sides of the equation by L to get rid of the denominator: Q×L=A−I
Get I on one side: Next, we want to get I on one side of the equation by itself. To do this, we can add I to both sides and subtract Q×L from both sides:I+Q×L=AI=A−Q×L
Express I in terms: Now we have the inventories, I, expressed in terms of the quick assets ratio, Q, the current assets, A, and the current liabilities, L:I=A−Q×LThis matches option (B) from the given choices.
