Q. Q=AILQ=\frac{A-I}{L}\newlineThe formula gives the quick assets ratio QQ in terms of a company's current assets, AA; inventories, II; and current liabilities, LL. Which of the following equations correctly gives the inventories in terms of the quick assets ratio, the current assets, and the current liabilities?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) I=QLAI=QL-A\newline(B) I=AQLI=A-QL\newline(C) I=L(QA)I=L(Q-A)\newline(D) I=L(AQ)I=L(A-Q)
  1. Given Formula: We start with the given formula for the quick assets ratio:\newlineQ=(AI)LQ = \frac{(A - I)}{L}\newlineWe want to solve for II, the inventories. To do this, we need to isolate II on one side of the equation.
  2. Multiply by L: First, we multiply both sides of the equation by LL to get rid of the denominator: L×Q=L×AILL \times Q = L \times \frac{A - I}{L} This simplifies to: L×Q=AIL \times Q = A - I
  3. Isolate II: Next, we want to isolate II, so we need to move AA to the other side of the equation by subtracting AA from both sides:\newlineL×QA=IL \times Q - A = -I
  4. Multiply by 1-1: Now, we multiply both sides by 1-1 to solve for II:\-I \times -1 = (L \times Q - A) \times -1This simplifies to:I=AL×QI = A - L \times Q
  5. Check Answer: We check the answer choices to see which one matches our derived equation for II:I=AL×QI = A - L \times QThe correct answer is (B) I=AQLI = A - QL.
