Explanation of Solution

Current ratio: Current ratio is used to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. The ideal current ratio is 2:1.

Current ratio=CurrentAssetsCurrentLiabilities

Current ratio for Year 2:

Current ratio=CurrentAssetsCurrentLiabilities=($6,800+$42,000+$25,000+200)($17,000+$1,000)=$74,000$18,000=4.11times

Current ratio for Year 1:

Current ratio=CurrentAssetsCurrentLiabilities=($3,900+$29,000+$18,000+$100)($18,000+$1,000)=$51,000$19,000=2.68times

The current ratio is increased by 1.43 (4.112.68) times at the end of Year 2.

Note: Current assets include Cash, Accounts receivable (net), Merchandise inventory and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities include Accounts payable and Income taxes payable.
