As the quick ratio includes cash but no inventory, there will be a change in the numerator on account of decrease in cash (which is a current asset). Denominator will remain unchanged. So overall, quick ratio will decrease after this change. For example: if quick ratio is 1.2, and if current assets are 1200 and current liabilities are 1000 (1200/1000 =1.2). if we purchase inventory (let’s say for Rs 100), then it will not make a difference in quick assets which exclude inventory. But they include cash, then there will be a reduction in quick assets. Quick assets then will become: 1200 -100 = 1100. There is no change in a liability here. So new quick ratio will become: 1100/1000 = 1.1. So, clearly answer will be (a). There is a reduction in a numerator and result is a lesser quick ratio as compared to the previous one.
