The projected cash operating expenditure of a firm for the next year is Rs. 1,82,000. It has quick current assets amounting to Rs. 40,000. What will be the defensive internal ratio ?

  • A.5 days
  • B.500 days
  • C.160 days
  • D.80 days

Answer: D

The defensive interval ratio is about 80 days.

The defensive interval ratio (printed 'internal') shows how many days a firm can meet its cash operating expenses out of its quick assets, without new revenue.

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Daily expense} &= \frac{1,82,000}{365} \approx 498.6 \\ \text{DIR} &= \frac{40,000}{498.6} \approx 80\ \text{days} \end{aligned} \]

160 days would need double the quick assets, and 5 days or 500 days come from dividing the wrong way or ignoring the daily conversion.
