    We can take an example and understand how (3) will affect current ratio: Current Asset and Current liability are 100 & 60 respectively. Current ratio will be 1.66. Now let’s assume we Purchased goods on credit amount to 10 Rs. So due to this transaction, both CA & CL will increase by 10 Rs. Current Asset and Current liability will now be 110 & 70 respectively. Current ratio will change to 1.57.
