| Purchase of loose tools Rs 2,000 | As cash is going out, quick assets are decreasing by 2,000. So, quick ratio will decrease. |
| Insurance premium paid in advance Rs 500 | As cash is going out, quick assets are decreasing by 500. So, quick ratio will decrease. |
| Sale of goods on credit Rs 3,000 | As debtors increase, quick assets also increase by 3,000. So, quick ratio will increase. |
