Aarchana11y ago
A company had the following transactions: 1 Goods in inventory that had cost $1,000 were sold for $1,500 cash. 2 A credit customer whose $500 debt had been written off paid the amount in full. 3 The company paid credit suppliers $1,000 What will be the combined effect of these transactions on the company's total net assets (current assets less current liabilities)? A Increase of $1,000 B Net assets remains unchanged C Increase of $2,000 D Increase of $3,000 sir, how is option A correct?? from 1, our assets increased by 500 and from 2, 500. In third , our liability is decreased by 1000.. so cash is reduced in paying liability . so, i got option 2 ans

For 1 - yes, our assets increase by 500 For 2 - if we are receiving cash 500 from a customer who does not owe us (because they had been written off) then again assets increase by 500 For 3 cash falls and liability falls, so no effect on net current assets. So answer A is correct.
