The formula to calculate the Acid Test Ratio (ATR) is:
\[ \text{ATR} = \left( \frac{\text{Cash} + \text{Accounts Receivable} + \text{Short Term Investments}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} \right) \]
Where:
The acid test ratio is a strong indicator of whether a firm has sufficient short-term assets to cover its immediate liabilities.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{ATR} = \left( \frac{1000 + 2000 + 3000}{3000} \right) \]
Evaluating:
\[ \text{ATR} = 2 \]
The Acid Test Ratio (ATR) is 2.
