To compute:
Given info: Total current assets and current liabilities.
1(B)
Explanation of Solution
Compute current ratio.
Current Ratio: Current ratio is used to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. Current ratio is determined by dividing current assets and current liabilities.
Formula:
The ideal current ratio is 2:1.
Current assets and current liabilities are determined as follows:
Thus, current ratio is 2.2.

Acid-Test Ratio: This ratio denotes that this ratio is a more rigorous test of solvency than the current ratio. It is determined by dividing quick assets and current liabilities. The acceptable acid-test ratio is 0.90 to 1.00. Use the following formula to determine the acid-test ratio:
Quick Assets are those assets that are most liquid. The examples of quick assets include cash and bank balances, marketable securities, and sundry debtors.
To calculate: Acid-test ratio
Given info: Current assets and current liabilities
1(C)
Explanation of Solution
Compute quick ratio.
First, determine the quick assets as shown below:
Then, determine acid-test ratio by dividing quick assets and current liabilities. Accounts payable are the only current liabilities.
Thus, quick ratio is 1.2.
