Current ratio matches current assets with current liabilities and tells us whether the current assets are enough to settle current liabilities. A current ratio of 1 or more means that current assets are more than current liabilities and the company should not face any liquidity problem. A current ratio below 1 means that current liabilities are more than current assets, which may indicate liquidity problems. In general, higher current ratio is better.
DEFINITION of 'Current Ratio'. The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term and long-term obligations. To gauge this ability, the current ratio considers the total assets of a company (both liquid and illiquid) relative to that companyâs total liabilities. The formula for calculating a companyâs current ratio, then, is: Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities. The current ratio is called âcurrentâ because, unlike some other liquidity ratios, it incorporates all current assets and liabilities. The current ratio is also known as the working capital ratio.
