Acid-Test Ratio

The acid-test ratio, also called the quick ratio, evaluates a company’s short-term liquidity by measuring its ability to pay current liabilities using only quick assets like cash, receivables, or marketable securities. Excluding inventory, it provides a stricter test than the current ratio. A ratio above 1 usually signals strong liquidity.
