A) Cash Position Ratio : -

• Cash Reservoir = Cash in hand + Bank + Marketable Non trade investment at market value.
• Current liabilities = Creditors + Bills Payable + Outstanding Expenses + Provision for tax (Net of advance tax) + Proposed dividend + Other provisions.
• Total assets = Total in asset side – Miscellaneous expenses – Preliminary expenses + Any increase in value of marketable non trading Investments.
• Average cash expenses =Total expenses in debit side of P & L a/c – Non cash item such as depreciation, goodwill, preliminary expenses written off, loss on sale of investments, fixed assets written off + advance tax (Ignore provision for tax) .
