liquidity

When you consolidate - both your current assets + current liabs are going to increase.
They give you current ratio was 1.10
say CA=110, CL=100
Now CA increases by 10, CL increases by 10
CA=120, CL=110
120/110 = 1.09
this is a recognition of the math principle that A/B shrinks when a common number is added to both numerator and denominator if A/B  1
and increases if A/B
If it had been 0.9
90/100
100/110 = 0.91  0.9
