The formula to compute the current ratio is shown below:

Current ratio = Total Current assets : total current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = $4,315 million

And, the total current liabilities is $2,453 million

So, the current ratio is

= $4,315 million : $2,453 million

= 1.76 times

Since the current ratio is greater than the 1.76 times that reflects that company have a liquidity position and it is able to pay its short term obligations
