Liquidity ratio
Liquidity Ratio may refer to:
- Reserve requirement, a bank regulation that sets the minimum reserves each bank must hold.
- Quick Ratio (also known as an Acid Test or Liquidity Ratio), a ratio used to determine the liquidity of a business entity
Liquidity ratio expresses a company's ability to repay short-term creditors out of its total cash. It is the result of dividing the total cash by short-term borrowings. It shows the number of times short-term liabilities are covered by cash. If the value is greater than 1.00, it means fully covered.
The formula is the following:
LR = liquid assets / short-term liabilities.
