What is the effect of a purchase of inventory on account on the current ratio and on working capital respectivelyAssume a current ratio greater than one prior to this transaction?

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.
