The current ratio will increase if current assets increase, while everything else remains unchanged.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the current ratio?</h3>

Generally, A liquidity ratio that evaluates a company's capacity to pay short-term debts or those that are due within the next year is called the current ratio.

It explains to investors and analysts how a business may get the most out of the current assets that are shown on its balance sheet in order to pay off its current debt and any other payables.

A current asset is defined as any asset that a company can reasonably expect to sell, consume, or deplete through the normal operations of the business inside the current financial year or an operating cycle, or an economic year.

In other words, a current asset is an asset that will be sold, consumed, or exhausted.

In conclusion, If current assets continue to grow while everything else stays the same, the current ratio will continue to show an upward trend.

First year:

1,000 x 1 + 10%) = 1,100

Second year:

1,100 + 3,000 = 4,100 invesmtent balance

4,100 x (1 - 5%) = 3,895

Third year:

3,895 + 2,000 = 5,895

5,895 x (1 + 2%) = 6012.9

Fourth year:

6012.9 + 500 = 6512.9

6,512.9 x (1+ 8%) = 7033.932

We calcualte rate that is equivalent with the following cash flow:

$1,000 (1+r)^4 + 3,000 (1+r)^3 + 2,000(1+r)^2 + 500(1+r) = 7,033.93$

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Yes I would sacrifice potentially winning the state title. Using performance enhancing drugs is both morally wrong, and illegal. If my team was to win states I would want it to be because we deserved it, not because players were taking drugs. Not only that, but the players who took the drugs could be causing a lot of harm to their bodies, something that isn't worth a title.

Llana [10]

A made up situation I can write is that you could talk about and discuss finances with a financial advisor or consultant who knows these issues better than you. To make these communications less stressful, you can comprehend that the consultant is there to help and is able to help and/or when you get excessively furious, you can take deep breathes to lessen the stress and make yourself calm.
