5.22

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the current ratio is as follows:

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ... (1)

From the question, we have:

Current assets = Accounts Receivable + Cash + Inventory + Supplies = $81,336 + $73,324 + $25,816 + $5,512 = $185,988.

Note: Equipment is not a current asset but a fixed asset.

Current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Tax Payable + Wages Payable = $19,207 + $3,512 + $12,880 = $35,599.

Note: Note Payable, due in two years is not a current liability but a long term liability since it is not payable within one year.

Substituting the values into equation (1) we have:

Current ratio = $185,988 / $35,599 = 5.22

The current ratio of 5.22 indicates that the company more than enough current assets, 5.22 times, to pay of its current liabilities.
