Respuesta :

Answer: 2. Current liabilities are greater than the quick assets of the company.

Explanation:

The acid-test ratio is a method of checking if the company has enough quick assets ( most liquid current assets) to enable it cover its current liabilities.

It is calculated by dividing the current assets less the inventory by the current liabilities. A ratio of 0.97 therefore means that the denominator which are the current liabilities are more than the quick assets of the company.
