These schedules should be prepared as individual worksheets within an Excel spreadsheet.Provide a calculation of at least three significant liquidity ratios:

- Debt ratio
- Debt/Equity ratio
- Fixed charge coverage

Consider the relationships between the types of accounts and correlations that should (or should not) occur with the ratios.
You will submit two items for this assignment:
- An Excel file with separate tabs for the liquidity and coverage ratio calculations.
- A Word document with your analysis.
