Answer:

the acid-test ratio is 1.5 times

Explanation:

The computation of the acid-test ratio is as follows:

Acid test Ratio = Quick assets ÷ current liabilities

where,

Quick Assets is

= Cash + short tern investments + Account receivable

= $3,500 + $50,000 + $56,000

= $109,500

And, the current liabilities is $73,000

= 1.5 times

Hence, the acid-test ratio is 1.5 times
