SDJ, Inc., has net working capital of $2,060, current liabilities of $5,550, and inventory of $1,250. Requirement 1:
What is the current ratio? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 3.16).)
Current ratio times
Requirement 2:
What is the quick ratio? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 3.16).)

1.

Current ratio = 1.37 times

2.

Quick Ratio = 1.15 times

Explanation:

The current ratio and quick ratios both are measures to assess the liquidity position of businesses. These are useful indicators of how well the business is equipped to meet its current obligations using its liquid assets.

To calculate these ratios, we must first determine the value of current assets. We are given the value of net working capital. The net working capital is the difference between the current assets and the current liabilities.

Net Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities

2060 = Current Assets - 5550

2060 + 5550 = Current Assets

Current assets = $7610

Requirement 1.

The current ratio is calculated as follows,

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current ratio = 7610 / 5550

Current Ratio = 1.3711 rounded off to 1.37 times

Requirement 2.

The quick ratio is calculated as follows,

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (7610 - 1250) / 5550

Quick Ratio = 1.1459 rounded off to 1.15 times

The answer is that Applicant 3 would be best in either Teaching or Professional Services. Teaching because having courses in child psychology would mean that the applicant has knowledge on the psychological processes of a child and therefore will be able to handle them. For professional services, the applicant could offer numerous professional services connected to the courses he/she took since he/she already has a specific skill and/or knowledge about child psychology and human development.
