| a. | Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities |
| b. | Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities |
| c. | Acid-test (quick) ratio = Quick assets* ÷ Current liabilities |
*Quick assets
= Cash + Marketable securities + Accounts receivable + Short-term notes receivable
= $160 + $0 + $190 + $0 = $350
| d. | Accounts receivable turnover = Sales on account ÷ Average accounts receivable* |
*Average accounts receivable = ($190 + $190) ÷ 2 = $190
| e. | Average collection period = 365 days ÷ Accounts receivable turnover (see above) |
| f. | Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory balance* |
