Solution 2

  1. The quick ratio will not change.
    Reason: Cash (a quick asset) increases, but debts (also a quick asset) decrease by the same amount. The total quick assets stay unchanged, and there is no effect on current liabilities.
  2. The quick ratio will decline.
    Reason: The quick ratio will decline if cash (a quick asset) decreases while paying off current liabilities, reducing overall quick assets.
