50 is the value obtained by swapping the numerator and denominator: current liabilities ÷ current assets × 100 = 1,500 ÷ 3,000 × 100 = 50%. The current ratio is “current assets ÷ current liabilities”, so the direction of the formula is wrong.
100 is the value when current assets equal current liabilities (but 3,000 is not equal to 1,500), which does not match the figures in this question. You should actually perform the calculation rather than carelessly choosing 100%.
150 is the value when the denominator is mistakenly taken as shareholders' equity 2,000 instead of current liabilities 1,500 (3,000 ÷ 2,000 × 100 = 150%). The denominator of the current ratio is always current liabilities; using net assets is incorrect.
正解 The current ratio is an indicator that measures short-term solvency (safety), calculated as current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabilities × 100. In this question the current assets are 3,000 million yen and the current liabilities are 1,500 million yen, so 3,000 ÷ 1,500 × 100 = 200%. The larger the value, the more easily-liquidated current assets a company holds relative to the current liabilities due within one year, indicating higher short-term solvency. Therefore “エ 200” is correct.
