Percentage change in cash and cash equivalents:

Options:

50%

20%

33.33%

66.67%

Correct Answer:

50%

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- 50%.

Cash & cash equivalents in 2023 = 2,00,000
Cash & cash equivalents in 2024 = 3,00,000

Change in cash & cash equivalents = 3,00,000 - 2,00,000
                                                  = 1,00,000

% change in cash & cash equivalents = [Change in cash & cash equivalents / Previous year(2023) cash & cash equivalents] x 100
                                                      = 1,00,000/2,00,000 x 100
                                                      = 50%
