Answer:
The inventory has been reportedly increased and it should be checked.
Inventory management should be further examined.
Explanation:
Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities
An increase in the current ratio means that there is an increase in the current assets or decrease in the current liabilities.
Acid test Ratio= Current Assets - Inventory / Current liabilities
If the acid test ratio is decreased it means that there is an increase in current liabilities or the current assets have decreased.
If we carefully look at the two formulas we find that inventory has increased and deduction of inventory from current assets reduces the amount of current assets and increases the current liabilities giving a bigger acid test ratio.
The inventory has been reportedly increased and it should be checked.
Inventory management should be further examined.
