Current Ratio Formula
The current ratio is calculated using the following formula:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Where:
- Current Assets = Assets that can be converted into cash within one year
- Current Liabilities = Liabilities that are due within one year
Interpreting Current Ratio
A current ratio of 1.5 to 2 is generally considered healthy. A ratio below 1 may indicate that a company has liquidity problems. A very high ratio may indicate that a company is not efficiently using its assets.
Limitations of Current Ratio
The current ratio does not consider the timing of cash flows or the quality of current assets. It should be used in conjunction with other financial ratios for a comprehensive assessment of liquidity.
