Current ratio definition
The current ratio is balance-sheet financial performance measure of company liquidity.
The current ratio indicates a company's ability to meet short-term debt obligations. The current ratio measures whether or not a firm has enough resources to pay its debts over the next 12 months. Potential creditors use this ratio in determining whether or not to make short-term loans. The current ratio can also give a sense of the efficiency of a company's operating cycle or its ability to turn its product into cash. The current ratio is also known as the working capital ratio.
Calculation (formula)
The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities:
The current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Both variables are shown on the balance sheet (statement of financial position).
Norms and Limits
The higher the ratio, the more liquid the company is. Commonly acceptable current ratio is 2; it's a comfortable financial position for most enterprises. Acceptable current ratios vary from industry to industry. For most industrial companies, 1.5 may be an acceptable current ratio.
