Answer 1

g.

Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilitiies

Working capital = ($8,400+29,400) - ($4,500+4,800)

Working capital = $37,800 - 9,300 = $28,500

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

Current ratio = $37,800 / $9,300 = 4.06

The company's overall liquidity is good as its current ratio is more than 1 as their current assets are than current liabilities
