One common problem with the current ratio is that it is susceptible to "window dressing." If prior to the end of the accounting period Saxon Company has a current ratio of 1.5 and management wishes to boost its current ratio it may decide to: a. purchase short-term investments with cash.
b. purchase more inventory with cash.
c. pay off accounts payable prior to year-end.
d. purchase more inventory on account.

c. pay off accounts payable prior to year-end.

Explanation:

The current ratio refers to the relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities

The formula to compute is as follows

Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities

It is a liquidity ratio that represents the liquidity of the company

Now for improving the current ratio first the company pay off the account payable before the year ending as it automatically reduced the balance of account payable

Hence, the correct option is c.
