(Round your answers to two decimal places.) 2005 current ratio = 1.14 2004 current ratio = 1.05 2005 quick ratio = 0.8 2004 quick ratio = 0.67 Which of the following best describes the company's current ratio and quick ratio for 2005 and 2004? OBoth the current and quick ratios have increased from 2004 to 2005. The company is fairly liquid. The current ratio has increased while the quick ratio has decreased in the period from 2004 to 2005, which suggests the company has a shortage of liquid assets. Both the current and quick ratios have decreased from 2004 to 2005. The company is fairly illiquid. OThe current ratio has decreased while the quick ratio has increased in the period from 2004 to 2005, which suggests the company has a shortage of current assets. (b) Compute total liabilities-to-equity ratios and total debt-to-equity ratios for 2005 and 2004. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 2005 total liabilities-to-stockholders' equity = 2.56 2004 total liabilities-to-stockholders' equity = 2.65 2005 total debt-to-equity = 0 2004 total debt-to-equity = 0 Which of the following best describes the company's total liabilities-to-equity ratios and total debt-to-equity ratios for 2005 and 2004? The total liabilities-to-equity ratio has decreased while the total debt-to-equity ratio has increased in the period from 2004 to 2005, which suggests the company has decreased the use of short- term debt financing. Both the total liabilities-to-equity and total debt-to-equity ratios have decreased from 2004 to 2005. The difference between these two measures reveals that any solvency concerns would be for the short run. OThe total liabilities-to-equity ratio has increased while the total debt-to-equity ratio has decreased in the period from 2004 to 2005, which suggests the company has increased the use of short- term debt financing. Both the total liabilities-to-equity and total debt-to-equity ratios have increased from 2004 to 2005. These increases suggest that the company is less solvent.
