What is Current Ratio?
--------------------------------------------
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that assesses a company's ability to repay short-term loans with maturities within a year.
Formula
--------------------------------------------
Current Ratio Formula = Current Assets / Current Liabilities.
Interpretation of Current Ratio
--------------------------------------------
- If Current Assets is greater than Current Liabilities (Ratio is greater than 1.0) - this indicates a desirable situation, i.e., the company has enough to meet its short-term obligations.
- If Current Assets = Current Liabilities (Ratio is equal to 1.0) - this indicates that the Current Assets are just enough to cover short term obligations.
- If Current Assets is less than Current Liabilities (Ratio is less than 1.0) - this indicates that the company does not have enough to meet its short-term obligations.
