Answer:
c.The transactions would lower Lofland's financial strength as measured by its current ratio but raise Smaland's current ratio.
Explanation:
The current ratio compares current assets with current liabilities showing how many dollars of assets are there for a dollar of liabilities. This tells investors about the company ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year.
Current Ratio = Current Asset (CA) / Current Liabilities (CL)
Lofland's NOW = 20 M CA / 10 M CL = 2.00
Lofland's AFTER = 30 M CA / 20 M CL = 1.50
Smaland's NOW = 10 M CA / 20 M CL = 0.50
Smaland's AFTER = 20 M CA / 30 M CL = 0.67
Lofland's current ratio gets lower, so its financial strength as well. Instead, Smaland's current ratio gets higher and It´s financially stronger.
