Answer 1

(1) In 2018,

Current ratio = (Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Other current assets) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)

= (66,301 + 48,995 + 3,986 + 12,057) / (55,888 + 55,416)

= 131,339 / 111,304

= 1.18

(2) In 2018,

Quick ratio = (Cash + Accounts receivable) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)

= (66,301 + 48,995) / (55,888 + 55,416)

= 115,296 / 111,304

= 1.04

(3) In 2018,

Debt-Equity ratio = Long term debt / (Common stock + Retained earnings)

= 102,519 / (33,293 + 110,400)

= 102,519 / 143,693

= 0.71

(4) In 2018,

Times interest earned = Earning before interest and taxes / Interest expense

= 76,143 / 3,240

= 23.50
