Question : Assertion (A): The current ratio assesses the firm’s ability to meet its short-term liabilities on time.
Reason (R): The current ratios assess the ability of the firm to meet its current liabilities immediately
Option 1: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Option 2: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Option 3: A is true, but R is false.
Option 4: A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer:
A is true, but R is false.
Solution :
The current ratio contrasts the total current assets and liabilities of a business. These are often described as liabilities that will be paid in a year or less and assets that are cash or will be converted into cash in a year or less.
Hence 3 is the correct answer.
