Question

KollegeApply · Accepted Answer

(A) is true but (R) is false. Explanation: The current ratio shows the relationship between current assets and current liabilities, hence the assertion is correct. However, the statement about satisfying obligations without relying on inventories relates to the Quick Ratio, not the Current Ratio. Therefore, the assertion is true and the reason is false.
