Answer 1.
The current ratio would increase in such case.

Current ratio= current assets/current liabilities

Before payment
Current ratio =2

After payment
Current ratio =2.25





Answer No 2.

there would be an increase of Rs.15 per share.

Price per share =P/E multipler* EPS

In 2000
Price per share=9*3=27

In 2001
Price per share=3.5*12=42

Net increase= 42-27 =15


please write back if any queries
