| (1) Prepare new balance sheet information assuming current liabilities remain unchanged at 400 SAR each year and the 400 SAR increase in debt is added to long-term liabilities. | | | | | | Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities |
| | | | | | | Dept Ratio = Total Dept / Total Assets |
| (2) Calculate the current ratio and debt ratio for each year under the first scenario. |
| (3) Calculate the current ratio and debt ratio for each year under your revised scenario with the additional debt added to long-term liabilities. |
| (4) Explain which of the two alternatives is riskier and why. | | | | | | Part (4) from claculated Current Ratio, higher current ratio will lead to have lower risk for investment that means the firm can increase the asset according to the debt, similar meaning that the firm will have more ability to meet its debt |
