Which of the following should be considered when calculating ratios relating to a supplier's liquidity?

Ainventory

Breserves

Creceivables

Dprofit

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is 'yes- the public sector should advertise as a call for competition'. They do this in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). Public Sector has to be transparent about everything and treat all suppliers equally. So they can't just approach the ones they like.

In the study guide it says OIEU and this is a typo. It's OJEU.

Hmm, should I go with the 'liquid' option? Get it? Liquid? Liquidity? Ah, I crack myself up.

This is easy - it's C. Receivables are key for assessing a supplier's ability to pay their short-term obligations.

Profit? Really? I thought we were looking at liquidity, not profitability. Hmm, let me think this through.

Inventory, reserves, and receivables - got it! Can't forget the cash flow situation.
