Expert Solution

A company expects to collect from Accounts Receivable

net realizable value of Accounts Receivable or gross amount of Accounts Receivable minus Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.

Hence, both the statements given in B and C are correct.

Correct option is (D) i.e. both B and C

year 2018

Liquid assets = Accounts Receivable, net + Cash and Cash Equivalents + Short-Term Investments

= 49,000 + 70,000 + 44,000

= $163,000

Current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Taxes Payable

= 80,000 + 5,000

= $85,000

Quick ratio = Liquid assets/Current liabilities

= 163,000/85,000

= 1.92

year 2019

Liquid assets = Accounts Receivable, net + Cash and Cash Equivalents + Short-Term Investments

= 42,300 + 43,700 + 27,000

= $113,000

Current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Taxes Payable

= 76,500 + 2,000

= $78,500

Quick ratio = Liquid assets/Current liabilities

= 113,000/78,500

= 1.44

quick ratio did not improve from 2018 to 2019 since it declined from 1.92 to 1.44

Correct option is (A) No
