I think the current ratio will definitely change because cash is being used up, but I can't recall if the quick ratio would be affected in the same way.
Yeah, I agree with that logic. I think the only ratio that would change is the debt-to-equity ratio, since the cash outflow would decrease the equity. But the question is asking about which ratios remain unchanged, so the answer is B.
I'm pretty confident the asset turnover ratio would also remain unchanged. The increase in non-current assets would be offset by the cash outflow, so the total assets wouldn't change.
Okay, let's see. The purchase and installation of machinery using cash would increase the company's non-current assets, but it wouldn't affect the current assets or liabilities. So I think the current ratio and quick ratio would remain unchanged.
