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.

Answer to Question 2
