- AIssue of Equity shares for cash
- BRedemption of 9% preference shares
- CIssue of debentures for consideration other than cash
- DIssue of debentures for cash
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Current Ratio 2. Debt Equity Ratio When Equity shares are issued for cash:Cash (Current Asset) increases, which increases the Current Ratio (assuming the initial ratio is greater than 1 or if it builds up funds).Shareholders' Funds (Equity) increases while Long-term Debt remains unchanged, which decreases the Debt Equity Ratio.Therefore, Option A satisfies both conditions.
