Question : Which of the following transactions will improve the current ratio?
Option 1: Repayment of a Current Liability.
Option 2: Purchase of goods for cash.
Option 3: Purchase of goods on credit.
Option 4: Sale of goods for Rs.2,00,000 (Cost Rs. 1,50,000).
Correct Answer: Repayment of a Current Liability.
Solution : Answer = Repayment of a Current Liability.
Let, C.ratio= 2:1; C.Assets= 20,000; C.Liab. = 10,000
If Payment of C.liab = rs. 5000
New C.Assets = 20,000-5000 = 1,5000
New C. Liab = 10,000 -5,000 = 5000
New C.ratio = $\frac{15000}{ 5000}$=
3:1
(increase).
Hence, the correct option is 1.
