question is incomplete lets take CA 200,000 and CL 150,000 CR=200,000/150,000=1.33 cash paid 20,000 then CA is 180,000 and CL is 130,000 CR= 1.38 here CR increases NOW LETS TAKE ANOTHER SITUATION CA=100,000 and CL= 120,000 CR= 0.833 cash paid for AP 20000 CA=80,000 and CL=100,000 CR= 0.80 here CR decreases. the same goes for Quick ratio. the question does not specify whether CA > or < CL so it cannot be determined. |

its simple.. CR = current assets/ current liabilities and Quick ration, the same.. cash reduced, current assets reduced --> CR reduced |
