    Question

    Which among the following ratios will be affected

    because of salaries paid in cash as advance salary?
    A Current ratio Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Quick Ratio Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Debt Equity Ratio Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A and B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Salary paid in advance is a prepaid expense. Its impact on current assets will be that cash will go down and Prepaid Assets will go up, therefore not effecting the total Current Assets. · As such, the current ratio will not be impacted as no change in current assets due to this transaction. · Debt Equity will also not be impacted as it does not take into account the current assets. · Quick ratio, takes into account current assets less any inventory or prepaid assets. As such, the quick ratio will be impacted by this transaction.
