a.
20Y4 | 20Y3 | |
Cash | $830 | $630 |
Temporary investments | 1,200 | 1,500 |
Accounts receivable | 820 | 950 |
Accounts payable | 1,900 | 2,200 |

= (830+1,200+820)/1,900
= 1.5
For 20Y3
Quick ratio = (Cash+Temporary investments+ Accounts receivable)/ Accounts payable
= (630+1,500+950)/2,200
= 1.4
