    Option C: 8.44 times

    Explanation:

    Quick ratio (also called as acid test ratio) is the indicator of a company's liquidity position at a very short period which only considers the most liquid assets and ignores Inventory & other assets which cannot be realised immediately.

    As we know that Quick Ratio = [Current Assets - Inventory - Prepaid Assets] / Current Liabilities

    2.00 = $79,000 - Inventory - 0] / $27,650

    => Inventory = $23,700‬

    Inventory turnover ratio gives us the number of times the company sells and replaces its inventory during the period.

    Annual Sales = $200,000

    Inventory Turnover Ratio = Sales / Average Inventory

    => $200,000 / $23,700 = > 8.44 times
