Enter non-overlapping current-asset amounts
Use cash and equivalents, short-term marketable securities, net current receivables, inventory, prepaids and other current assets. The calculator adds these components to obtain entered current assets. Do not enter a subtotal again as an extra component.
Read the numerator definitions
Quick ratio includes cash, securities and receivables. Cash ratio includes cash and securities. Other current assets, inventory and prepaids are excluded from both narrower numerators. This explicitly labelled convention follows the referenced CFA ratio list.
Inspect the default fictional model
Cash 200, receivables 400, inventory 300 and current liabilities 500 give current assets 900, current ratio 1.8×, quick ratio 1.2× and cash ratio 0.4×. The other default components are zero.
Use the result as a snapshot of the supplied balances
Current liabilities must be positive. The tool rejects negative component inputs. It does not assess collection timing, restricted balances or sector-specific regulatory liquidity requirements, and it does not classify the issuer as safe or unsafe.
