measure of liquidity, as short-term liabilities come due next year. The higher the
liquidity ratio, the greater the liquidity of corporate assets. A high current ratio means
that more liquid assets are occupied, which affects the turnover efficiency and
profitability of working capital. Generally, 2 is considered a reasonable minimum
flow rate ratio. Also, it should be noted that even if the current ratio is high, it does

share and compare it to the company's current market price per share to gauge
