Question

The current and quick ratios help us measure a firm's liquidity. The current ratio measures the relationship of the firm's current assets to its current liabilities, while the quick ratio measures the firm’s ability to pay off short-term obligations without relying on the sale of inventories. True or False?

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Current Ratio: The current ratio shows a relationship between the current assets and the current liabilities. The formula is shown below:

Current ratio = (Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities )

Quick Ratio: The quick ratio shows a relationship between the quick assets and the current liabilities. The formula is shown below:

Current ratio = (Quick assets ÷ total current liabilities)

where,

Quick assets = Current assets - inventories - prepaid insurance

So, the given statement is true
