    What website or app did you use to get the information

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  6 місяців тому

      In most cases, the annual report published on the investor relations sections of the company's website, and/or the 10-K filing by the company with the SEC.

    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 ?

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  3 роки тому +2

      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.

    Can give solution for increase current ratio

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  3 роки тому +2

      One example is to generate more cash from operating activities, and not pay it out a dividends to shareholders.

    hi sir, mayy I ask what's the difference between the current ratio and acid-test ratio?

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  3 роки тому +1

      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).

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  Рік тому

      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.

      @@TheFinanceStoryteller i cannot make .so thats why i am requesting youbto please solve this . I am cery weak in accounting.If u can solve this then i am able to solve other sums like this.

    • @TheFinanceStoryteller
      @TheFinanceStoryteller  Рік тому

      I will meet you halfway.... Below is how you should classify the various accounts, then you can follow the instructions in my previous comment to finish the calculation.
      Inventory - Current Assets
      Trade Payables - Current Liabilities
      Trade Receivables - Current Assets
      Long term borrowings (Non-current liabilities) - Out of scope, as this is in Non-current liabilities
      Current portion of long-term loans - Current Liabilities
      Taxation payable (within one year) - Current Liabilities
      Cash - Current Assets
