Correct option is D
Enough working capital means that a business has
sufficient current assets to meet its
current liabilities comfortably. This directly indicates the
liquidity of the business.
Liquidity refers to the firm’s ability to convert assets into cash quickly and to pay short-term obligations on time. Adequate working capital ensures:
· Smooth business operations
· Timely payment to suppliers
· Better creditworthiness
· Ability to handle unexpected expenses
Thus, enough working capital primarily reflects the
liquidity position of the business rather than growth or strength.
Therefore, the correct answer is
(d) Liquidity.
