    The acid test ratio is 1.38

    Explanation:

    The acid test ratio gives an indication of how easy it is for the company to pay back its short term obligations without considering inventory.

    Acid test ratio=current assets-merchandise inventory/current liabilities

    current assets is $260,000

    current liabilities is $170,000

    merchandise inventory is $25,000

    acid test ratio = ($260,000-$25,000) / $170,000 = 1.38

    The acid test ratio is 1.38 which is not of the options given

    The only that is not as liquid as other current assets is merchandise inventory, hence deducted from current assets.
