The company's quick (acid-test) ratio is 1.30 times

Explanation:

The formula to compute quick ratio is shown below

= Quick assets : Current liabilities

where,

quick assets = Cash + accounts receivable

= $5,400 + $15,500

= $20,900

It excludes inventory and prepaid expenses. So, we do not consider the computation part.

and, the current liabilities are accounts payable and the salaries payable.

So, the current liabilities would equal to

= $4500 + $11,500

= $16,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the quick ratio would equal to

= $20,900 : $16,000

= 1.30 times

Hence, the company's quick (acid-test) ratio is 1.30 times
