Explanation / Answer

Working capital = current assets-current liabilities

= 25080-10400

Working capital = 14680

Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities

= 25080/10400

Current ratio = 2.41:1

Acid test ratio = (cash+account receivable) /current liabilities

= (1280+12300)/10400

Acid test ratio = 1.31:1
