Glad it helped! I have some related videos on current assets and current liabilities th-cam.com/video/Jw4TaiP42P4/w-d-xo.html plus solvency and liquidity th-cam.com/video/z4zrQ3saMsI/w-d-xo.html that might be useful for you too!
The acid-test ratio compares a company's “quick assets” (cash and accounts receivable) to its current liabilities. The difference with the current ratio is that it excludes inventory (which might take some effort and time to convert to cash).
So does this basically mean if you have a current ratio of 1 your breaking even. CR of 2 you have 50% more money after paying bills and .5 your behind on bills ?
It would put it slightly differently. The current ratio is a balance sheet ratio, so you are looking at the situation at a specific point in time (specific date), not taking into account the transactions that are likely to happen after it (generating new sales to customers, incurring new expenses, etc.). If on the balance sheet date, the current ratio is 1, then cash and other assets that are expected to be converted to cash within a year are equal to amounts due to be paid to creditors within twelve months. If the current ratio is 2, there is $2 owned for every $1 owed. If the current ratio is .5, then there is $0.50 for every $1 owed. You are not necessarily behind on your bills (all the invoices in accounts payable could be current, i.e. not past due), but the ability to pay what you owe when those invoices become due is low based on what you own. Suppliers and banks will be more careful doing business with a company that has a current ratio of 0.5 than with a company having a current ratio of 2.0.
1. Based on the figures below, what is the current ratio? £ Inventory 6,000 Trade Payables 12,000 Trade Receivables 11,000 Long term borrowings (Non-current liabilities) 16,000 Current portion of long-term loans 3,000 Taxation payable (within one year) 5,000 Cash 1,000 A) 0.50:1 B) 0.60:1 C) 0.75:1 D) 0.90:1 Please help me to solve this questio .
Current ratio is current assets divided by current liabilities. You can learn in the examples in my video which items go into current assets, and which ones into current liabilities. Group the relevant items, and make the calculation.

Can give solution for increase current ratio
One example is to generate more cash from operating activities, and not pay it out a dividends to shareholders.
Can someone explain unearned rev. please?
Hello Parker! I have a short video on unearned revenue (also called deferred revenue) for you: th-cam.com/video/SNguYyKrqL4/w-d-xo.html
hi sir, mayy I ask what's the difference between the current ratio and acid-test ratio?
The acid-test ratio compares a company's “quick assets” (cash and accounts receivable) to its current liabilities. The difference with the current ratio is that it excludes inventory (which might take some effort and time to convert to cash).
Thank you very much sir :))))
