Calculation of the short term debt is as follows; Here Current ratio = Current asset / current liabilities Here current ratio be 2.1 And, we assume increase in inventory and note payable be X Now we know that Current ratio = (Current asset + x) / (Current liability + X) 2.1 = ($903,000 + x) / ($308,000 + x) 2.1* ($308,000 + x) = $903,000 + x $646,800 + 2.1x = $903,000 + x $646,800 - $903,000 = x - 2.1x -$256,200 = -1.1x x = $232,909.09 THAT'S NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER - $380,000*2.1 = $798,000 - NOT 646,800?? I got $95,454.55 - please recheck your problem and let me know which one is accurate. I believe you answer is wrong.
