The company either found suppliers at a lower price or raised their retail price to allow for the additional revenue. The company has a current ratio of 2.1:1 (2009) to 1.9:1 (2010). It did go down slightly but is still able to pay its liabilities and have money left. Also, if students did a quick ratio it would still be over one. The business did take on a little more debt in 2010, but they also increased their fixed assets, which allowed them to generate additional revenue. Students should mentioned that two years of data can give them an idea, but for thorough analysis they would need more years to get a trend.
