    (a) current ratio is 2.40

    (b) acid-test ratio is 1.68

    Explanation:

    Current ratio is a financial measure that shows how many times the company's short term or current assets are more than the company's current obligations or liabilities. The same goes for acid test ratio except that in the determination of current assets, inventories is not included.

    Hence current ratio

    = current asset/current liabilities

    Acid ratio

    = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities

    Current assets = $25100 + $7800 + $17500 + $26000 + $10000

    = $86,400

    Current asset less inventory = $60,400

    Current ratio = $86,400/$36,000

    = 2.4

    Acid test ratio

    = $60,400/$36,000

    = 1.68
