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)
Given Formula: We start with the given formula for the quick assets ratio:Q=L(A−I)We want to solve for I, the inventories. To do this, we need to isolate I on one side of the equation.
Multiply by L: First, we multiply both sides of the equation by L to get rid of the denominator: L×Q=L×LA−I This simplifies to: L×Q=A−I
Isolate I: Next, we want to isolate I, so we need to move A to the other side of the equation by subtracting A from both sides:L×Q−A=−I
Multiply by −1: Now, we multiply both sides by −1 to solve for I:\-I \times -1 = (L \times Q - A) \times -1This simplifies to:I=A−L×Q
Check Answer: We check the answer choices to see which one matches our derived equation for I:I=A−L×QThe correct answer is (B) I=A−QL.
