Hello to everyone!
I was wondering if you could help me to understand the following:
Why current ratio and quick ratio increase when company sells some inventory on credit at a profit?

Thank you.
Hope to hear from you soon.

If they sell inventory at a profit then inventory reduces and receivables (or cash) increases by a greater amount.

Therefore current assets increase and, for the quick ratio, current assets less inventory also increase.
