Answer:
It is increases by 0.155 times
Explanation:
As we know that
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
where,
Current assets = Cash + account receivable + inventory
So in year 1, the current ratio is
= ($7,000 + $18,000 + $34,000) ÷ ($17,000)
= ($55,000) ÷ ($17,000)
= 3.47 times
And, in year 2 , the current ratio is
= ($4,000 + $14,000 + $40,000) ÷ ($16,000)
= ($58,000) ÷ ($16,000)
= 3.625 times
Therefore, it is increases by 0.155 times
