quick ratio

Explanation:
Just a quick guess for you... not 100% certain without more context.

Acid test ratio

The acid test ratio is similar to the current ratio as it highlights the liquidity of the company. A ratio of 1:1 (i.e. a value of approximately 1) is satisfactory. However, if the value is significantly less than 1 it implies that the company has a large amount of its cash tied up in unproductive assets, so the company may struggle to raise money in the short term.

Acid test ratio = (current assets - stock) / current liabilities
