Answer:
company's acid-test ratio is 1.63. Option e
Explanation:
Acid test ratio is similar to current ratio. However, current assets difficult to liquidate such as inventory are usually not included in the total current asset computation
Given,
Cash = $ 42,250
Short-term investments = 60,000
Accounts receivable, net = 79,500
Merchandise inventory = 115,000
Prepaid expenses = 9,700
Accounts payable = 111,400
Acid test = (42250 + 60000 + 79500 + 9700)/111400
= 181750/111400
= 1.63
Option e.
