a) Nelson Company's current ratio is the measure of the company's ability to settle maturing short-term liabilities with short-term financial resources.  It is is measured as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.

b) Nelson's acid-test ratio takes away the encumbrances that can slow the conversion of current assets into cash for the settlement of current liabilities.  In this case, the inventory, stores supplies, and prepaid insurance are excluded.

c) Nelson has a robust gross margin ratio of more than 60%.  This means that it is able to limit the cost of goods sold to below 40%.  However, management of Nelson Company is unable to control its periodic costs in order to generate reasonable net income, as it can only turn less than 9% of the sales into returns for J. Nelson.
