Correct Answer: 1.8:1


Solution : Current assets = 800000

Current liabilities = 400000

Purchase of goods on credit will have two effects -

1. Increase stock by Rs.100000, Current assets will thereby increase to Rs.900000 (800000+100000)

2. Increase creditors by Rs.100000. Current liabilities will now be Rs.500000 (400000+100000)

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

= 900000/500000

= 1.8:1

Hence the correct answer is option 4.
