Answer #1

Solution :

The Answer is (a) Increase, long-term debt, cash.

Explanation : If we analyse the ratios we can see that the companies Debt / Equity ratio is increasing from Year 2014 to 2016 continuously. The Increase debt equity ratio indicates the company has increased its debt over the years.

Further Companies Cash Ratio is Also increasing over the years. It means that companies cash reserve has increased. The Increase in Cash has also resulted in Increase in Current and Quick Ratio. Current Liabilities are same over the years and Inventories is not part of the current assets as given in question. Increase in Long term debts and Increase in Cash indicates that financing has been done from Long Term Debts and put it into Cash.
