AICPA CPA-Business Exam - Topic 3 Question 47 Discussion

Posted by Laticia on May 09, 2022 at 12:29 AM

Which of the following transactions does not change the current ratio and does not change the total current assets?

Suggested Answer: A

Choice 'a' is correct. This does not change the current ratio because the reduction of cash is offset by an increase in accounts receivable.

Choice 'b' is incorrect. A cash dividend increases current liabilities without increasing current assets. Although current assets remain unchanged (until the payment happens), the current ratio will change.

Choice 'c' is incorrect. Cash is reduced and current liabilities are reduceD. Total current assets will change (they will be reduced).

Choice 'd' is incorrect. The payment of cash reduces current assets. Long-term assets are increased, as well as long-term and short-term liabilities. The current ratio is reduced.

I thought buying equipment would change current assets, but I guess not!

Cash dividends declared don't change current ratio either.

A cash advance doesn't affect current assets.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know we can use HTML in the body of the email, but I'm not sure if that's the only way to change the font color. Let me think this through step-by-step.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know continuous data has decimal subdivisions, but I'm not totally sure if that's the only criteria. I'll have to think it through carefully.
