Cash Ratio is a financial ratio that is used to identify the amount of a company's assets that are maintained as cash or near cash entities. This is extremely important for banks and financial institutions (If you go back to the beginning of this article to the bank - cash withdrawal example, you can now relate the fact that I was in fact talking about this ratio only)
Formula:
Cash Ratio = (Cash + Marketable Securities) / Current Liabilities.
Companies strive to maintain a good cash ratio but at the same time try to ensure that they do not hold on to too much cash that is lying idle in their bank accounts.
The cash deposit ratio (CDR) is a financial metric that measures the proportion of a bank's total deposits that are held in cash or cash-equivalent assets. It highlights a bank's liquidity position and its ability to meet withdrawal demands. The formula for calculating the cash deposit ratio is: [ \text{Cash Deposit Ratio} = \frac{\text{Cash and Cash Equivalents}}{\text{Total Deposits}} \times 100 ] This ratio is expressed as a percentage, indicating how much of the deposits are readily available in cash form.
A good cash ratio for a business is typically around 0.2 to 0.5, meaning the business has enough cash to cover 20 to 50 of its current liabilities. The cash ratio can be calculated by dividing the total cash and cash equivalents by the total current liabilities of the business.

Restricted cash is typically excluded from the quick ratio calculation. The quick ratio focuses on a company's most liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and receivables, to assess its ability to meet short-term liabilities. Since restricted cash is not readily available for use in operations, it does not qualify as a liquid asset for this ratio.
The cash credit ratio is a financial metric that measures the proportion of a company's cash and cash equivalents to its total current liabilities. It indicates a firm's liquidity position and its ability to meet short-term obligations. A higher cash credit ratio suggests better liquidity, while a lower ratio may indicate potential cash flow issues. This ratio is particularly useful for assessing the financial health of businesses that rely on short-term financing.
