Answer:

a. Current ratio = current assets / current liability

2018 = 276,942 / 232,631 = 1.19

2019 = 336,199 / 331,302 = 1.01

b. Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities

2018 = (276,942 - 126,088) / 232,631 = 0.65

2019 = (336,199 - 192,061) / 331,302 = 0.44

c. Cash ratio = (cash + cash equivalents) / current liabilities

2018 = 45,262 / 232,631 = 0.19

2019 = 57,602 / 331,302 =  0.17

d. Debt-equity ratio = debt / equity

2018 = 515,942 / 374,636 = 1.38

2019 = 511,949 /408,931 = 1.25

equity multiplier = assets / equity

2018 = 890,578 / 374,636 = 2.38

2019 = 920,880 /408,931 = 2.25

e. Total debt ratio = debt / assets

2018 = 515,942 / 890,578 = 0.58

2019 = 511,949 / 920,880 = 0.56
