1. Current Asset Ratio = 1.86 : 1

 2. Acid Test Ratio= 1.86 : 1

 3. Debt to Equity ratio = 0.36 : 1

 4. Times interest earned = 10.8

Explanation:

1. Current Asset Ratio = Current Asset    

                                       Current Liabilities

                                      =  $370,000 + $370,000 + $320,000

                                                          $570,000

                                    =  $1,060,000

                                        $570,000

                                    = 1.86

Current asset includes cash, short term investment and account receivable.

2.    Acid Test Ratio  = Current Asset - Inventory

                                      Current Liabilities

                                   = $1,060,000 - $0

                                      $570,000

                                    = 1.86

No inventory value is given, so the value is deemed zero.

3.       Debt to Equity   =   Total liabilities

                                          Shareholder`s equity

                                     =   $570,000+ $520,000

                                          $1,600,000 + $1,410,000

                                    =  $1,090,000

                                        $3,010,000

Both current and long term liabilities are taken as debt since the question does not provide information in regard of specific composition of current liabilities.

                                     = 0.36

4.      Times interest earned   = Income before Interest and Tax

                                                     Interest payable

                                                    =   $330,000+ $50,000 + $160,000

                                                                     $50,000

                                                    = 10.8
