Motivated by recent decreases in its liquidity ratios, Nightscape Components is analyzing several of its divisions for opportunities to better manage working capital. Company management is using Tableau to help visualize the current ratio and the the acid-test ratio for each of the company's 9 divisions. As part of the investigating team, you are examining this Tableau Dashboard that portrays those factors in each of the four most recent years for the Crafting Materials Division. The industry norm for the current ratio is 1.4, and the industry norm for the acid-test ratio is 0.7.

The combined effect of the division's current ratio and acid test ratio on the decline in the company's current ratio is cause for alarm. The recent decline in the division's current ratio is at least partially offset by the increase in the more stringent acid test, and both ratios remain above their industry norms. < Required 4 Required 5 > Motivated by recent decreases in its liquidity ratios, Nightscape Components is analyzing several of its divisions for opportunities to better manage working capital.
