Expert Solution

Solution: No change to the current ratio and decrease the acid-test ratio

Working:

Journal entry will be:

Dr. Prepaid Rent $10,000

Cr. Cash $10,000

Prepaid rent and cash are current assets thus there will be no impact on current ratio. Quick assets excludes prepaid rent thus there will be a decrease in quick assets which will cause a decrease in the acid-test ratio
