Answer:

a. Apple current ratio =  Current asset / Current liabilities

                                    =   $128.78billion/ $101.27billion

                                     = 1.27

b Apple Quick ratio    =  (Current asset - Inventory ) / Current liabilities

                                     = ( $74.48billion + $17.58billion)/ $101.27billion

                                     =  $92.06billion/$101.27billion

                                     =  0.91

c. Apple Cash ratio   = cash and short-term investment / current liabilities

                                   =  $74.48billion / $101.27billion

                                  =   0.77

d. By comparing the computed ratios of Apple and HPQ, it shows that Apple asset liquidity is better than that of HPQ.  The current ratio of Apple is 1.27 as against 0.96 for HPQ. also in term of Quick ratio, Apple has 0.91 while HPQ has 0.54.  The cash ratio of HPQ is 0.33 while Apple figure stood at 0.77
