Basically Inventory is valuated an asset. You keep inventory to service your customers and to smoothen production by purchasing semi-finished stuff. Inventory ties up your working capital hence the objective is to return your investment as soon as possible. A good measurement is the ratio of inventory turnover. Inventory becomes a liability when the life cycle ends either by becoming obsolete/discontinued or by means of expiry. Write offs are valuated as liabilities.
Purchase of inventory can either be on cash or credit. In the first case, while the value of your inventory would increase, your bank balance would decrease, leading to no change in the current assets and, therefore, no change in the current ratio as well. If goods are bought on credit, while your current assets will increase, so will your current liabilities (as you now owe creditors more), leading to no change in the current ratio, again. Due to the same reasons, whether the purchase was on cash or credit, the working capital also remains the same. If bought on cash, the value of inventory increase while cash decreases, leading to no change in the total current assets and, thus, no change in working capital. If goods are bought on credit, current assets increase and also current liabilities, leading to no change in the working capital, again.
