Answer to Question 1

A firm's current ratio can be used to evaluate a firm's ability to pay its current liabilities. A firm's current ratio is computed by dividing current assets by current liabilities. The average current ratio for all industries is 2.0, but it varies greatly from industry to industry. A high current ratio indicates that a firm can pay its current liabilities. A low current ratio can be improved by repaying current liabilities, by reducing dividend payments to stockholders to increase the firm's cash balance, or by obtaining additional cash from investors.
