= 1000/310
= 3.2
3-2b. Quick, or Acid test, Ratio- this ratio is calculated
by deducting inventories from current assets and then dividing the
remainder by current liabilities.
Quick, or Acid test, Ratio = CA- Inventories/CL
= 385/310
= 1.2
Types of Ratio Analysis

ration analysis, It is a set of ratio that measure how
effectively a firm is managing its asset.

average length of time the firm must wait after making a sale
