Because it's the planet in our solar system with the shortest,
fastest orbit around the sun ... only 88 Earth days.

The people who named it didn't know that ... they still thought that
the sun and all the planets revolve around the Earth.  But they did
see it zip from one side of the sun to the other, faster than any other
planet ... the result of having the shortest, fastest orbit of any planet.

A firm current ratio is 1. 0 and its quick ratio is 1. 0. If current liabilities are 12300, what are its inventories?
Anna007 [38]

A firm current ratio is 1. 0 and its quick ratio is 1. 0. If current liabilities are 12300 then its inventories will be 12300

Inventory is the accounting of items, component parts and raw materials that a company either uses in production or sells

The quick and current ratios are liquidity ratios that help investors and analysts gauge a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations. The current ratio divides current assets by current liabilities. The quick ratio only considers highly-liquid assets or cash equivalents as part of current assets.

current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

current assets = current ratio  * current liabilities

                        = 1 * 12300 = 12300

since , inventory is a current asset for accounting purpose , hence inventories will be 12300

Explain the difference between cool air and warm air
Naddik [55]

Answer: ok

Explanation:

The molecules in hot air are moving faster than the molecules in cold air. Because of this, the molecules in hot air tend to be further apart on average, giving hot air a lower density. That means, for the same volume of air, hot air has fewer molecules and so it weighs less.
