Answer 1

Current ratio = Current assets/ Current liabilties

Current ratio for 2013 = 1,504,165/1,788,416 = 0.84

Current ratio for 2014 = 1,626327/1,859,179 = 0.87

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory)/ Current liabilties

Quick ratio (2013) =(1504165-564995)/1788416 = 0.53

Quick ratio (2014) =(1626327-587469)/1859179 = 0.56

Cash Ratio = Cash/ Current liabilties

Cash ratio (2013) = 187,230/1788416 = 0.1047

Cash ratio (2014) = 190710/1859179 =0.1026

Yes, these warrant a concern to the shareholders since the company has a current ratio less than 1. This means the company does not have enough current assets to cover for the current liabilities. The company will have to take on short term borrowing which is not a good thing for investors since it increases debt.
