Do you include accrued liabilities when figuring the liabilities for getting your quick ratio and or acid-test ratio:confused: 
 
I know I include accounts payable, income tax payable, notes payable(short-term) for my liabilities
 
For my assets I include accounts receivable, cash, marketable securities, prepaid expenses, but not inventory
 
Thank you

What do you mean by Accrued Liabilities?
 
Such as at the end of the year, I accrued a liability to pay my employee's their salary?  If that is the case, then YES, you do include them since they are part of CURRENT LIABILITIES.

I am not sure. It is just on a list from the balance sheet.  I will have to dig deeper and find out.  
 
Thank so much for your help
Very much appreciated.

In that case, yes, you include Accrued Liabilities under current liabilities.
