Calculation: current assets / current liabilities
Also called the Working Capital Ratio, it measures the extent to which current assets are available to meet current liabilities (due within the next 12 months). The Current Ratio indicates whether the business has ample working capital i.e. the excess of current liabilities over current assets used to meet short-term obligations, quickly take advantage of opportunities, and qualify for favourable credit terms.
