Task 1
Mandy Moore Dance Studio wishes to expand her dance studio and the bank has loaned her $100,000. The bank requires the business to maintain a current ratio of no less than 1.50. The expansion of the dance studio has been solid but not as well as expected. Due to the expansion, the current ratio is 1.40 as of December 15th.
