Explanation & Answer

Hi Ellery,

The quick ratio is a measure of liquidity. So it's current assets/liabilities.

In this case, only cash and accounts receivable count for the numerator. Inventory is not a current asset.

So, cash + accounts receivable / Accounts Payable + Accrued Payroll, or 0.79

Note that the portion of accrued payroll that is /not/ current (due next month, in the next six months, etc) wouldn't be included. Here the assumptions appears to be that it is all current.
