Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION

Current Ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

2010-

Current Ratio = $12,215 / $6,089 = 2.00:1

2009-

Current Ratio = $10,795 / $4,897 = 2.20:1

Working Capital - Current assets - Current liabilities

2010-

Working capital = $12,215 - $6,089 = $6,126

2009-

Working capital = $10,795 - $4,897 = $5,898
