It consists mainly of expenditure on wages, salaries and supplements, purchases of goods and services and consumption of fixed capital (depreciation).

80000 + 55000 = 135000

Working capital ratio is

A
5 : 4
B
5 : 3
C
4 : 5
D
1 : 2
correct option: d

The working capital ratio is calculated simply by dividing total current assets by total current liabilities.

Current assets = 3000 + 4000 +6500 + 1500 = 15000

Current liabilities = 8000 + 4000 = 12000

15000/12000 = 1.25
