Question
**b-1. Calculate the acid-test ratio at the end of January.**

**Answer is complete but not entirely correct.**

The blue table under "Acid-test Ratio" illustrates the calculation:

- **Choose Numerator:** Quick Assets
  - Value: $207,680
  - This value is selected correctly.

- **Choose Denominator:** Current Liabilities
  - Value: $106,575
  - This value is selected correctly.

- **Acid-test Ratio Calculation:**
  - Quick Assets / Current Liabilities = Acid-test Ratio
  - $207,680 / $106,575 = 1.95

**Explanation:**

The acid-test ratio, also known as the quick ratio, measures a company's ability to cover its current liabilities without relying on the sale of inventory. In the example, the calculated acid-test ratio is 1.95, indicating that for every dollar of current liabilities, there are $1.95 of quick assets available. Despite being calculated correctly, the answer is marked incomplete due to a potentially missing context or assumption.
