On purchasing inventory on credit for $600000 both current
assets and current liability will shoot up and will result in
desired current ratio. However this will increase warehousing and
finance cost. There is nothing inethical about this decision as
company can purchase inventory at any time on credit or cash on its
own wish.

Otherwise should do vice versa.
