1)a. Quick Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities
Quick Assets = Cash + Temporary Investment + Accounts Receivable
Quick Assets of Current Year = $1850+$4030+$7560 = $13440
Quick Assets of Previous Year = $2490+$5580+$3810 = $11880
Current Liabilities of Current Year = $8400
Current Liabilities of Previous Year = $6600
Calculation of Quick Ratio :-
Current Year = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities
= $13440 / $8400
= 1.6 times
Previous Year = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities
= $11880 / $6600
= 1.8 times
1)b. Is the Quick Ratio Declining.
