She has $1,000 in her bank account after recently selling a painting, owes $500 to a vendor for paint and canvas, and expects an additional $500 in invoices in the next three months for other supplies. As her accountant, the best feedback you can give Madeline is: Assuming no additional sales over the next three months, Maddie's Fine Art has a current ratio of 1.0 and therefore has the necessary liquidity to pay its vendors. Madeline will need to sell at least one more painting for $500 to cover the invoices due within the next three months as Maddie's Fine art has a current ratio of 0.5.
