ANSWER
1)
a) Working Capital
Working capital = Current Assets - Current liability
= (73,000+22,000+357,200+467,800+10,100) - (205,400+106,000+62,700)
= $556,000
b) Current Ratio
Current ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities
= (73,000+22,000+357,200+467,800+10,100) / (205,400+106,000+62,700)
= 930,100 / 374,100
= 2.4863
c) Acid test ratio:
Acid test ratio = (Total current Assets - Inventory - Prepaid expenses) / Current liability
= (930,100 - 467,800- 10,100)/ 374,100
= 1.20877
