Correct Answer: B

Question
Which of the following ratios is unaffected by the choice between the current rate method and the temporal method?
Answer Choices:
A. Inventory turnover
B. Current ratio
C. Quick ratio
Explanation
All of the components of the quick ratio (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable) are converted at the same rate under both methods so the ratio is unaffected by the method. The current ratio is the same as the quick ratio except it also contains inventory which is translated at the historical rate with the temporal method and at the current rate with the current rate method. Inventory turnover ratio and current ratio both would be similarly affected as they rely on the value of inventory.
