Current ratio vs quick ratio?

Quick ratio is a measure of company's ability to meet short term obligation with liquid assets. Quick ratio= (current assets &acirc;?? inventories) / current liabilities.

How do you calculate the current ratio and what does it indicate about a company's financial health?

The current ratio is calculated by dividing a company's current assets by its current liabilities. It indicates a company's ability to cover its short-term obligations with its short-term assets. A higher current ratio generally suggests better financial health, as it shows the company has more assets than liabilities to meet its short-term debts.

Why is the quick ratio a more appropriate measure of liquidity than the current ratio for a large-airplane manufacturer?

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.

What is the meaning of a quick ratio greater than 1.0 and less than 1.0?

A quick ratio is something used in financial accounting. It is equal to your quick assets (cash and accounts receivable) divided by your current liabilities. If it is greater than 1.0 then your financial statements are looking good because you have more assets than liabilities and are therefore (hopefully) making revenue. If it is less than 1.0 than your liabilities outweigh your assets and your business could be headed for failure.

Is quick ratio a better measure of the firms liquidity than current ratio?

Yes because a quick ratio doesn't include inventory which must be sold before it can be used to pay for the companies current obligations. Of course you have to collect the cash in A/R before it can be used to pay for current obligations too but AR should be able to be converted to Cash much quicker than Inventory. A Cash Ratios, which doesn't include AR or Inventory is an even better measure of a firms liquidity than both the quick and current ratio.

What is a liquid ratio?

The liquid ratio, also known as the quick ratio, is a financial metric that measures a company's ability to meet its short-term liabilities using its most liquid assets. It is calculated by dividing liquid assets, such as cash and accounts receivable, by current liabilities. A ratio greater than 1 indicates that a company can cover its short-term obligations, while a ratio less than 1 may signal liquidity issues. This metric provides a more conservative view of liquidity compared to the current ratio, as it excludes inventory from assets.
