Thus, the quick ratio is 3.0 times so the correct option is a. 3.0 times

Explanation:

Quick Ratio : The quick ratio is a liquidity ratio which deals in all currents liabilities and current assets except inventory.

The formula to compute Quick ratio is shown below:

Quick Ratio = Quick assets : Current Liabilities

Where,

Quick assets is accounts receivable, cash, marketable securities which equals to = $45,000 + $30,000 + $36,000 = $111,000

And, Current liabilities is accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable (short term) which equals to

= $20,000 + $7,000 + $10,000

= $37,000

Hence, quick ratio is $111,000 : $37,000 = 3.0 times

Thus, the quick ratio is 3.0 times so the correct option is a. 3.0 times
