    Current ratio is 2.50:1.

    Quick ratio is 1.85:1

    Explanation:

    From the question, the following can first be calculated:

    Current asset = Cash + Marketable securities + Account receivable + Inventory

    = $225,000 + $115,000 + $112,000 + $158,000

    Current asset = $610,000

    Quick asset = Current asset - Inventory

    = $610,000 - $158,000

    Quick asset = $452,000

    Current liability = Account payable = $244,000

    (a) the current ratio

    Current ratio = Current assets/current liability = $610,000/$244,000 = 2.50

    Therefore, the current ratio is 2.50:1., and the company has more than enough current asset to meet its short term debt obligation.

    (b) the quick ratio

    Quick ratio = Quick assets/current liability = $452,000/$244,000 = 1.85

    Therefore, the quick ratio is 1.85:1, and the company can quickly convert more than enough asset to cash to meet short and immediate debt obligations.
