Question : Assertion (A): A company's long-term financial position is determined by its liquidity ratios:
Reason (R): Liquidity ratios, such as the current ratio and quick ratio, are useful in determining the firm's long-term financial position.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Both Assertions (A) and Reason (R) are False
Correct Answer: Both Assertions (A) and Reason (R) are False
Solution :
The quick ratio, current ratio, and days sales outstanding are common liquidity ratios.
While solvency ratios are focused on a longer-term ability to pay off ongoing debts, liquidity ratios assess a company's capacity to meet short-term obligations and cash flows.
Hence 4 is the correct answer.
