Answer:

0.82

Explanation:

Quick ratio is computed as

= Quick assets / Current liabilities

Quick assets = cash and cash equivalents + marketable securities + Account receivables

Current liabilities = Bills payable + Accounts payable + Other short term payable

With regards to the above,

Quick assets given = Cash and accounts receivables ; account payables only for current liabilities

Quick ratio = $240 + $860 / $1,335

Quick ratio = $1,100 / $1,335

Quick ratio = 0.82

So, quick ratio for 2017 is 0.82
