Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio) Calculator









Formula

The formula to calculate the Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio) is:

\[ \text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{\text{Cash and Cash Equivalents} + \text{Marketable Securities} + \text{Accounts Receivable}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} \]

Description

The quick ratio (acid-test ratio) is a financial metric used to measure a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations using its most liquid assets. It indicates whether a company has enough resources to pay off its current liabilities without needing to sell inventory.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following:

Step 1: Calculate the quick ratio:

\[ \text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{50,000 + 30,000 + 40,000}{80,000} = \frac{120,000}{80,000} = 1.5 \]

Therefore, the Quick Ratio is 1.5.
