How are current liabilities related to a company's operating cycle?
Current Assets and Current Liabilities are critical to a company's operating cycle. Lets take a look at 2 formulas that you can use to determine the strength of a company's operating cycle (monies). 1. Take Current assets - current liabilities. If the number is negative this means the you have more (short term) debt that is due to your creditors within the next 12 months than you have cash to pay them. 2. To look at the same operating cycle as a ratio formula take Current assets / current liabilities. For each industry the acceptable ratio is different, but as a rule of thumb you would like to see 2:1 minimum. This means that you have $2.00 in your CA that will be needed to cover every $1.00 in CL. Your in good shape. IF the ratio is below 1:1 then you don't have enough cash to cover short term monies owed. For example if the ratio was .67 : 1 that means you have 67 cents in your (short term possession) for every dollar that you owe. Watch these carefully and you will make calculated business decisions.

When an accounts payable is paid with cash, both current assets and current liabilities decrease by the same amount, as cash (a current asset) is reduced and accounts payable (a current liability) is also reduced.

However, the overall liquidity position of the company may improve as it reduces its liabilities.
