    B. No.

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the quick ratio is shown below:

    Quick ratio = (Quick assets) : (current liabilities)

    where,

    For 2018

    Quick assets = Accounts Receivable, net + Cash and Cash Equivalents + Short minus Term Investments

    = $49,000 + $70,000 + $44,000

    = $163,000

    And, the current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Taxes Payable

    = $80,000 + 5,000

    = $85,000

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the ratio would equal to

    = $163,000 : $90,000

    = 1.81 times

    For 2019

    Quick assets = Accounts Receivable, net + Cash and Cash Equivalents + Short minus Term Investments

    = $42,300 + $43,700 + $27,000

    = $113,000

    And, the current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Taxes Payable

    = $76,500 + 2,000

    = $78,500

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the ratio would equal to

    = $113,000 : $78,500

    = 1.43 times

    No, as it shows declining from 2018 to 2019
