Calculate the current ratio and the acid-test ratio for Queen's Line

Current ratio is an example of a liquidity ratio. Liquidity ratios measure a firm's ability to honour its short terms obligations. the higher the current ratio, the higher the firm's liquidity and its ability to meet short term obligations

Current ratio = current asset /current liability

867 / 2778 = 0.31

Acid test ratio also known as the quick ratio measure the ability of short term assets to meet current liabilities

Acid test ratio = (current asset - inventory) / current liabilities

(867 - 122) / 2778 = 0.27
