Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An acid-test ratio of 1.5:1 means that the company has $1.50 of liquid assets available to cover every $1.00 of current liabilities. This ratio indicates that the company is in a good position to cover its short-term obligations as they come due.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the current ratio is 2:1, an equal increase in current assets and current liabilities would decrease the current ratio.

Detailed explanation-3: -Current Ratio = 25, 000 ÷ 10, 000 = 2.5. The current ratio for Company ABC is 2.5, which means that it has 2.5 times its liabilities in assets and can currently meet its financial obligations Any current ratio over 2 is considered ‘good’ by most accounts.
