    How to approach this question

    Calculate quick ratio as quick assets (cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable) divided by current liabilities. Exclude inventory and prepaid expenses from quick assets as they are less liquid.

    Full Answer

    A.0.60✓ Correct
    The quick ratio (acid-test ratio) measures immediate liquidity by comparing quick assets to current liabilities. Quick assets are the most liquid current assets: typically cash, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. Inventory and prepaid expenses are excluded because they are less readily convertible to cash.

    Common mistakes

    Including inventory or prepaid expenses in quick assets, using wrong current liability amounts, or calculation errors
