The quick ratio is more appropriate than the current ratio because it only factors in the assets that a business, like a large airplane manufacturer, can easily turn into cash. The quick ratio does not include inventory or land assets so is typically lower than the current ratio.

The current ratio is a key liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets.

While the current ratio includes all current assets, the quick ratio excludes inventory, and the cash ratio focuses solely on cash and cash equivalents. Together, these ratios offer a comprehensive assessment of a company's short-term financial health and liquidity position.
