Quick Ratio for the current year = 3.78

Quick Ratio for the previous year = 1.6

Explanation:

Nabors Company

Dec. 31, Current Year Dec. 31, Previous Year

Cash $1,430 $1,710

Temporary investments 3,120 3,840

Accounts receivable 7,150 2,610

Inventory 2,340 2,300

Accounts payable 6,500 5,100

Quick Ratio = Cash + Cash Equivalents + Accounts Receivables/ Accounts Payables

Quick Ratio for the current year = $ 1430+ 3120 + 7150/ 6500

= 24570/6500= 3.78

Quick Ratio for the previous year = $ 1710+ 3840 + 2610/ 5100

= 8160/5100= 1.6

A quick ratio less than 1.0 means that the current liabilities exceed the quick assets. a rule of thumb the quick ratio must have a value greater than 1.0 to conclude that the company is unlikely to face near term liquidity problems. . A value less than 1.0 raises the liquidity concerns unless the a company can generate enough cash from inventory sales or if much of its liabilities are not due until late in the next period.

Similarly a value greater than 1.0 can hide a liquidity problem if payable are due shortly and receivables are not collected late until next period.

It is improving.

while setting up his new office, an attorney ordered thick, frieze carpets for the floor. however, the building inspector had him remove the expensive carpeting. the building inspector stated that according to federal regulations, the office must be wheelchair accessible as it is a public area. he further explained that since wheelchairs do not maneuver well in thick, frieze carpeting, the carpets had to be removed and be replaced with smooth-textured carpets that do not restrict wheelchair maneuverability. this scenario illustrates how a company is influenced by the component of its specific environment.
