Consider the situation of Advanced Autoparts​ (AAP) in 2009. The firm had total current assets of $1,912,160,600 and current liabilities of $1,365,829,000.   a.  What is the​ firm's current​ ratio? b.  If the firm were to expand its investment in inventory and finance the expansion by increasing accounts​ payable, how much could it increase its inventory without reducing the current ratio below 1.2​? c.  If the company needed to raise its current ratio to 1.5 by reducing its investment in current assets and simultaneously reducing accounts payable and​ short-term debt, how much would it have to reduce current assets to accomplish this​ goal?
