CIPS L4m4 Ethical And Responsible Sourcing · Free Practice Question Easy

Question 12

Which of the following should be considered when calculating ratios relating to a supplier's liquidity?
  • A inventory
  • B reserves
  • C receivables
  • D profit
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

the correct answer is inventory. This is based on a real exam question that confused me. In the beginning I didn't understand what the difference was between inventory and reserves.


For CIPS, reserves don't relate to reserves of stock (which is what I initially thought) but rather it is an accounting term referring to a credit balance (i.e. money in the bank). If you got the answer straight away- well done- you're better than me!
