    Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

    Quick ratio = Current assets-Inventories/current liabilities

    Current ratio = 1,312,500/525,000 = 2.5

    If the firm wants to raise funds as additional note payable without icreasing its current ratio of 2:

    Current ratio = (Current assets+NP) / (Current liab.+NP)

    2 = (1,312,500+NP) / (525,000+NP)

    NP = 262,500; Additinal Note payable can be maximum of 262,500

    Quick ratio = (1,312,500 - (375,000+262,500)) / 787,500 = 1.19
