Firm X and Y have the same quick ratio, but Firm X has

Solution

"Inventory is not included in quick assets while calculating the quick ratio. But inventory is included in the numerator while calculating the current ratio. So, an increase in the numerator for Firm X because of greater inventory makes its current ratio more than Firm Y. Accounts payable are included in current liability, and it’s the same in the case of quick ratio and current ratio. We do not have full information about turnover ratios so can not comment on that. Therefore, greater inventory for Firm X will result in a higher current ratio"
