What will be the treatment of Loose Tools/Spares and Stores while calculating the following :-

1. Current Ratio
2.Inventory Turnover Ratio
3.Working Capital
4.Working Capital Turnover
5.Cost of Goods Sold

Thank you in advance.

Loose tools and stores and spares are part of CURRENT ASSETS (Inventory)
1. Current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabities
2. Inventory turnover ratio = COGS ÷ average inventory
3. Working capital = Current assets ÷ current liabilities
4. working capital turnover ratio = net sales ÷ working capital
5. COGS = net sales - gross profit

but while doing ratio chapter we doesn't take it as a part of current assets
only raw material +work in progess+finished are only considered

No, loose tools and stores and spares are also considered

@Anushka :-
Both DK Goel and TS Grewal books say that Current Ratio should be calculated by excluding loose tools from inventories!
