Answer:

b. Only Emerald Corporation's current ratio will be increased.

Explanation:

Given that

Emerald current ratio is

= 0.5 i.e. = 0.5 ÷ 1

now in case when the current liability is doubles , so the current assets is

= 0.5 + 1 = 1.5

And, the cuurrent liabilities is

= 1 + 1

= 2

so new ratio is

= 1.5 ÷ 2

= 0.75

Now  

Ruby current ratio is

= 1.5

i.e. = 1.5 ÷ 1

Now in case when the current liability is doubled,

the current assets is

= 1.5 + 1

= 2.5

And, current liabilities is

= 1 + 1

= 2

Now new ratio is

= 2.5 ÷ 2

= 1.25

Therefore the emerald current ratio is rised from 0.5 to 0.75

And, the Ruby's ratio has decline from 1.5 to 1.25

Answer:

                                      Dr.      Cr.

July 19

Cash                            $792

Discount expense      $8

Account Receivable              $800

Explanation:

The term 1/15, n/30 mean there is a discount of 1% is available on the sales value, if payment is made within 15 days of sale with credit term of 30 days.

The sale of $900 was made on July 10 and discount period is until July 25.

On July 12 goods amounting $100 was returned and now the amount due from the customer is $800 ( $900 - $100 ).

The payment made on July 19 is actually in the discount period and it is eligible for the discount as it is made before July 25.

Discount = Amount due x Discount rate

Discount = $800 x 1% = $8

$792 Cash received against the sale made on July 10 and discount $8 is expensed. Total of $800 is credited from the account receivable account to eliminate it.
