Correct Answer: Decrease the Current ratio


Solution : Purchasing goods on credit decreases the current ratio as the current liability will increase due to the increase in creditor amount and assets will also increase with the same amount.
Like ratio is Current Asset = 200000 Current liability = 100000 Current ratio= 2:1
If the purchase of goods on credit for 100000 then 
Current ratio = 300000/200000=1.5:1 
Hence it will be declined.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
