Solution

The correct answers are:

  • Accounts payable are included in the denominator.
  • The current ratio represents the excess of current assets over current liabilities.
  • Cash is included in the numerator.

Explanation:

The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year. It compares a firm's current assets to its current liabilities.

  • Rent payable is a current liability, so it would be included in the denominator, not the numerator.
  • Merchandise inventory is a current asset, so it would be included in the numerator, not excluded.
  • Accounts payable are indeed included in the denominator as they are current liabilities.
  • The current ratio does represent the excess of current assets over current liabilities. A higher current ratio indicates a more promising financial outlook.
  • Cash is a current asset and is therefore included in the numerator.
