Answer:
Current ratio- 2.03  2.33  1.73 and Acid-test ratio- 0.98  0.43  0.60               
Explanation:
 Attach is the table of given cases
Acid test ratio= 
Now, solving for acid test ratio.
<u>Case x</u>
⇒ Acid test ratio= 
⇒ Acid test ratio= 
∴ Acid test ratio= 
<u>Case y</u>
⇒ Acid test ratio= 
⇒ Acid test ratio= 
∴ Acid test ratio=  <u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Case Z</u>
⇒ Acid test ratio= 
⇒ Acid test ratio= 
∴ Acid test ratio= 
Next solving for current ratio.
We know, current ratio= 
<u>Case x</u>
⇒ current ratio= 
∴ current ratio= 
<u>Case y</u>
⇒ current ratio= 
∴ current ratio= 
<u>Case Z</u>
⇒ current ratio= 
∴ current ratio= 
Hence, Current ratio- 2.03  2.33  1.73 and Acid-test ratio- 0.98  0.43  0.60               
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Bonds
Explanation:
Bonds fit all of Marlon's needs since: 
- He can know the interest rate up front, e.g. the coupon rate of the bond, or  the market rate if the bond is purchased at a premium or discount.
- Some bonds have a very remote maturity date, up to 30 years (e.g. US securities) and that is a long period of time.
- Even though Marlon can cash his money before the bond matures (he can sell them), it is something that takes a few days and must be done by a broker. 
- Bonds are very secure investments, specially US securities which are considered the most secure investment in the world, but even corporate bonds are considered secure. In case the firm goes is liquidated, bondholders receive their money before preferred stockholders and common stockholders. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
C. calculating the total output for Portugal
Explanation:
- Aggregate demand can be thought as the total amount of products that are demanded by individuals in an economy, in a certain period of time.
- It is a way of measuring the total output of goods demanded in a territory, periodically.
- Because in equilibria, aggregate demand must equal aggregate supply, thinking about total output (produced and demanded) is correct.
- Because <u>it has to do with all the goods that are demanded,</u> options A and B are not suitable.
