Sample answer
Shaw will be satisfied (1) with this ratio as it indicates that he is able to meet his
short term debts (1)
However Shaw may have too much money tied up in his current assets (1) as a
ratio which exceeds 2:1 can indicate poor management of the current assets (1)
Although ratios between 1.5:1 and 2:1 are generally regarded as satisfactory
consideration also needs to be given to the size and type of the business which
Shaw operates (1) (5)

Sample answer
The liquidity of the business has worsened over the two years
(1) which is evidenced by the reduction in both ratios. The
current ratio indicates that they are just able to cover their short
term debts (1) whereas their quick ratio indicates that they are
below the ideal ratio of 1:1. (1) The implication of this for a
creditor is that the business may experience some difficulty in
meeting its short term debts (1).
