Explanation / Answer

Note that current ratio = all current assets/current liabilities

Quick ratio or acid test ratio = quick asset/current liabilities

Quick asset = current asset- inventory

Current ratio shows ability of org. To meet short term obligation as and when they arise

Quick ratio is more rigorous than current ratio as it shows ability of org to meet it's short term obligation with readily available cash. Inventory takes time to be disposed off and also their realization value can't be guaranteed.

Note that quick ratio and current ratio are one and the same thing.

Now let us move to the calculation part

First let us calculate current ratio for three years

2015 :- 12041/12967 = 0.929

2016 :- 13908/14675 = 0.948

2017 :- 13701/17387 = 0.788

Now quick asset

2015 :- (12041-1422)/12967 = 0.819

2016 :- (13908-1357)/14675 = 0.855

2017 :- (13701-1605)/17387 = 0.696
