As long as the current ratio is greater than 1 to 1, any payment will increase
the current ratio because the current liabilities go down more in proportion than
do the current assets.

PROBLEM 6-24
a.
1
An increase in inventory would increase the current ratio. To the extent that
the increase in inventory used current funds available, this would decrease the
acid-test.

LIFO would result in a lower inventory figure. This would decrease the current
ratio and increase inventory turnover.

The most logical reason for the current ratio to be high and the quick ratio low is
