Answer:

1a. Current ratio = Current assets / Current Liabilities

Current year = $224,517 / $120168 = 1.88 : 1

1 years ago = $175,652 / $70,310 = 2.50 : 1

2 years ago =$134,088 / $44,840 = 2.99 : 1

1b. The Current ratio worse over three years period

2a. Acid test ratio = (Cash + Investment + Account Receivables) / Current liabilities

Current year = ($29,328 + $0 + $83,351) / $120,168 = 0.94 : 1

1 year ago = ($32,285 + $0 + $57,663) / $70,310 = 1.28 : 1

2 year ago = ($34,323 + $0 + $45,764) / $44,840 = 1.79 : 1

2b. The Acid test ratio are worse over three years period
