Open in App

Solution

Current Assets = Rs 4,50,000
Current Liabilities = Rs 2,00,000
Purchase of Goods on Credit for Rs 30,000 will have two effects:

Increase Stock by Rs 30,000, Current Assets will thereby increase to Rs 4,80,000 (Rs 4,50,000 + Rs 30,000)

Increase Creditors by Rs 30,000 and therefore Current Liabilities will now be Rs 2,30,000 (Rs 2,00,000 + Rs 30,000)
