Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Current ratio

= Current assets ÷ Current liabilities

= ($258,000 + $114,000 + $187,000 + $204,000) ÷ ($249,000)

= 31 : 1 times

b. And, the quick ratio is

= Quick assets ÷ Current liabilities

= ($258,000 + $114,000 + $187,000) ÷ ($249,000)

= 22 : 1 times

We simply applied the above formulas and the same is to be considered
