    A. Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

    Current assets = Cash + inventories + current assets = 38.07+76.22+2.45 = 116.74 billion

    Current liabilities = 76.09 billion

    Current ratio = 116.74 billion/76.09 billion = 1.53

    B. Quick ratio = (Current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (116.74-2.45) / 76.09 = 1.60

    C. When compared to Hewlett-Packard, both the quick ratio and the current ratio of Apple are higher. This means that Apple is in a better liquidity position than Hewlett-Packard. In other words, Hewlett-Packard has to improve its liquidity position when compared to Apple
