Description

The current ratio is a financial metric used to evaluate a company's liquidity or working capital position.  The metric ratio represents liquidity as the proportion of current assets available to cover current liabilities.  The formula for Current or Liquidity Ration is:

             Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

The ratio represents whether a company's short-term assets (cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivables and inventory) are capable of paying-off its short-term liabilities (notes payable, current portion of term debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses and taxes)

The greater the ratio's value, the healthier is the company's position.
