Current ratio

2.15 : 1

Acid-test ratio

1.34 : 1

Gross margin ratio

0.64 : 1

Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

Current assets = cash + merchandise inventory + store supplies + prepaid insurance = 24200+2500+10700+(2700-1450) = 38650

Current liabilities = accounts payable = 18000

Current ratio = 38650/18000 = 2.15

Acid-test ratio = quick assets / current liabilities

Quick assets = cash = 24200

Current liabilities = 18000

Acid-test ratio = 24200/18000 = 1.34

Gross margin ratio = gross profit / sales = 71650/111450 = 0.64
