My question: Given Robinson

Explanation / Answer

Current Ratio is calculated as: Current Assets / Current Liabilities Here it is: 2011 $700,000 / $350,000 = 2 2012 $900,000 / $600,000 = 1.5 Higher is better, so a drop from 2.0 to 1.5 indicates a degradation of the company's liquidity Quick Ratio is measured as: (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities Here it is: 2011 ($700,000 - $350,000) / $350,000 = 1.0 2012 ($900,000 - $500,000) / $600,000 = 0.667 Again, the ratio has declined in 2012 indicating a worsening of the company's liquidity.
