Explanation / Answer

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

= $24230 - $19980

= $4250.

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

= $24230 / $19980

= 1.21 times

Acid test ratio = Current assets - inventory - prepaid expenses / Current liabilities

= $24230 - $13400 - $750 / $19980

= 0.5 times.
