    I’m having trouble picking the correct explanation. I have memorized the formulas but can’t seen to grasp the explanation. Can anyone give me a better way to arrive at a answer without confusion.

    Best way is to understand the cause and effect of the elements and how it changes the ratio… Also what does the ratio say about the Fin Stmts

    Eg: Explanation States: XYZ Company purchased long term asset for cash:
    Cash = Current Asset – will affect current/quick ratio – decrease

    If purchase inventory on credit
    Inv = C/A, Credit = C/L – affects current ratio – remain unchanged, quick ratio decreases – inventory not included

    FAR - 2/16 - 78
    BEC - 2/16 - 78
    AUD - 8/16
    REG - 8/16
