. Answer: C
Current Assets:
Cash P100,000
Accounts receivable 200,000
Total liquid assets 300,000
Inventory 440,000
Total current assets P740,000
Current Liabilities:
Accounts payable P 80,000
Notes payable, due in 6 months 250,000
Interest payable 25,000
Total current liabilities P355,000
Before any payment, the current ratio is above 1:1 and acid test ratio is below 1:1. Therefore, the current ratio shall
rise but acid test ratio shall go down. If any of these two ratios is below 1:1, the equal change in current assets and
current liabilities brings direct effect on the ratio, that is, equal increase in current assets and current liabilities causes
the ratio to rise.
