Explanation / Answer

Working capital (Current assets - Current liabilities) $2,491,350 - $3,198,000 = (706,650) Current ratio (Current assets / Current liabilities) $2,491,350 / $3,198,000 = 0.78:1 Acid Test Ratio ((Total Current Assets - Inventory - Prepaid Expenses) / Current Liabilities) ($2,491,350 - $717,000) / $3,198,000 = 0.55:1 Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Net credit sales / Average accounts recievable $10,177,200 / (($1,026,000+$776,450)/2) = 11.29 Times
