English term or phrase:acid test ratio
Definition from VentureLine: Acid test ratio is an analysis method used to measure the liquidity of a business by dividing total liquid assets by current liabilities.
Example sentence(s):
The acid test ratio is important because it helps to show how healthy a company it is; in terms of being able to pay off any short-term debt is that it may have acquired. Basically, the premise of this ratio was to use as a test for a doom and gloom scenario for a company. Associated Content, Inc.
Along with being a viable way to establish the financial health of the company, employing the acid-test ratio to the condition of the corporation can be helpful in avoiding future problems. If the evaluation indicates the company current is working under a negative acid-test ratio, then the time for cutting operating costs and eliminating any expenses that are not central to the ongoing life of the company can help to turn the state of the company into a positive one. Using the acid-test ratio as a way of making sure all resources of the company are being used to best advantage is an important process for businesses of all sizes, from home businesses to multinational corporations.
