• Debtor turnover ratio =credit sales /debtors =bills receivable
• And with a slight modification, we also derive the average collection period. This will
indicate the average payment period in the number of Days/ weeks /months .we only
have to modify the ratio a little ,and remember this will be expressed as a function of
time (days ,weeks months etc)
• Average collection period =(number of days /weeks/months)/(Debtors t/o ratio)

38. The solution of Liquidity Ratios
• 1. Calculation of Current Ratio:
• Current Ratio = Current Assets
Current Liabilities
=Cash in hand + Cash at Bank + Inventories + Trade Receivables + Marketable security + Prepaid Expenses
Sundry Creditors + Bills payables + Outstanding Expenses + Bank Overdraft
= 10,000 + 40,000 + 1,35,000 + 75,000 + 25,000 + 15,000
75,000 + 15,000 + 5,000 + 55,000
= 3,00,000
1,50,000
Current Ratio = 2 : 1
39. • 2. Calculation of Liquid Ratio:
• Liquid Ratio = Liquid Assets
Current Liabilities
= Cash in hand + Cash at Bank + Trade Receivables + Marketable security
Sundry Creditors + Bills payables + Outstanding Expenses + Bank Overdraft
= 10,000 + 40,000 + 75,000 + 25,000
75,000 + 15,000 + 5,000 + 55,000
= 1,50,000
1,50,000
• Liquid Ratio = 1 : 1
40. • . Calculation of Absolute Liquid or cash Ratio:
• Absolute Liquid or cash Ratio = Absolute Liquid or cash Assets
Current Liabilities
= Cash in hand + Cash at Bank + Marketable security
Sundry Creditors + Bills payables + Outstanding Expenses + Bank Overdraft
= 10,000 + 40,000 + 25,000
75,000 + 15,000 + 5,000 + 55,000
•
= 75,000
