  Solution
Answer
a ) current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
current assets = cash + marketable securities +account receivable + inventory
= 14500 + 8060 + 13040 + 10850
= 46450
current liabilites = account payable + current notes payable
= 8900 + 3400
= 12300
current ratio = 46450 / 12300
= 3.78
b ) earnings per share = net income / average number of shares
= 15800 / 860
= 18.372 per share
