Liquidity Indicators
The current ratio, also known as the working capital ratio, measures the capability
of a business to meet its short-term obligations that are due within a year.
The ratio considers the weight of total current assets versus total current liabilities.
It indicates the financial health of a company and how it can maximize the liquidity
of its current assets to settle debt and payables.
For each peso that the company must pay in the short term, it has $2.09 to support
the obligation.
The risk run by the creditors, the owners of the company and the
convenience or inconvenience of a certain level of indebtedness for the
company is measured.
A high level of indebtedness is desirable only when the rate of return on the
company's total assets is higher than the average cost of capital.
