Solution

The acid-test ratio, also known as the quick ratio, measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. It is calculated as follows:

Acid-Test Ratio = (Cash + Accounts Receivable + Short-Term Investments) / Current Liabilities

In this case, the company does not have any short-term investments, so the formula simplifies to:

Acid-Test Ratio = (Cash + Accounts Receivable) / Current Liabilities

Substituting the given values:

Acid-Test Ratio = (6,000+6,000 + 19,000) / 15,000AcidTestRatio=15,000 Acid-Test Ratio = 25,000 / $15,000 Acid-Test Ratio = 1.67 (rounded to two decimal places)

So, the closest answer in the multiple choice options would be 1.7.
