1. the Current Ratio for 2017 = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= ( Cash + Accounts Receivable + Inventory ) /  Current Liabilities

= ( $ 26,000 + $ 40,000 + $ 30,000) / $ 76,000

= $ 96,000 / $ 76,000

= 1.3

Hence the correct answer is 1.3

2. Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $ 96,000 - $ 76,000

= $ 20,000

Hence the correct answer is $ 20,000
