This is because stock markets move fast, the stock price of EPS moved when the in the announcement about FDA approval was made.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Option C: 8.44 times

Explanation:

Quick ratio(also called as acid test ratio) is the indicator of a company's liquidity position at a very short period which only considers the most liquid assets and ignores Inventory & other assets which cannot be realised immediately.

As we know that Quick Ratio = [Current Assets - Inventory - Prepaid Assets] / Current Liabilities

2.00 = $79,000 - Inventory - 0] / $27,650

=> Inventory = $23,700‬

Inventory turnover ratio gives us the number of times the company sells and replaces its inventory during the period.

Annual Sales = $200,000

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Sales / Average Inventory

=> $200,000 / $23,700 => 8.44 times
