The correct answer is: D. Will not affect the current ratio.

The current ratio is a measure of a company’s liquidity, or its ability to pay its short-term debts. It is calculated by dividing a company’s current assets by its current liabilities.

Purchase of goods for cash will increase a company’s current assets, but it will also increase its current liabilities by the same amount. Therefore, the current ratio will not be affected.
