Question : Which of the following assets is not taken into consideration in calculating acid-test ratio?
Option 1: Bills Receivable
Option 2: Stock
Option 3: Cash
Option 4: None of these
Correct Answer: Stock
Solution : The ability of a corporation to pay off its present commitments without depending on the sale of inventory or securing further financing is determined by the acid-test ratio. Since inventory is typically not an asset that can be rapidly and readily converted into cash, it is excluded from the ratio calculation.
Hence the correct answer is option 2.
