(i) Purchase of machinery for cash will reduce the total of Quick Assets but total current liabilities will remain unchanged. Therefore, quick ratio will reduce.

(ii) Purchase of goods on credit will increase total of current liabilities but total quick assets will remain unchanged. Therefore, quick ratio will reduce.

(iii) Sale of furniture at cost will increase the total of quick assets. Therefore, quick ratio will improve.

(iv) Sale of goods at profit will increase the total of quick assets. Therefore, quick ratio will improve.

(v) Quick ratio will reduce since quick assets which include cash will reduce with the redemption of debentures at premium.
