Solution

  1. "For any given company, the current ratio will generally be higher than the acid-test ratio." - This statement is true. The current ratio includes all current assets (including inventory), while the acid-test ratio excludes inventory. Therefore, the current ratio will generally be higher.

  2. "The acid-test ratio measures a company's current bill-paying ability, whereas the current ratio measures a company's liquidity." - This statement is partially true. Both ratios measure a company's liquidity, but the acid-test ratio is a more stringent measure because it excludes inventory.

  3. "The acid-test ratio demonstrates the extent to which a firm can meet its current obligations even if none of its inventory can be sold." - This statement is true. The acid-test ratio excludes inventory from current assets, thus showing a company's ability to pay its current liabilities even if it cannot sell its inventory.

  4. "The current ratio increases working capital by a greater amount than does the acid-test ratio." - This statement is false. Neither the current ratio nor the acid-test ratio increases working capital. They are both measures of a company's liquidity, not methods of increasing working capital.
