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. WISEGEEK
Investors analyze the acid test ratio, also known as the adroit ratio or the bound ratio. This ratio excludes record and prerewarded expenses, which the flow ratio includes, and it confines assets to money and stuff that the concern can adroitly change to money. This narrow grouping of assets is known as adroit or liquid assets. Designbygreg

Example sentence(s):

FINANCE, Preparation for market [COM] Full entry EN quick ratio acid-test ratio PT rácio de liquidez reduzida - IATE
Liquidez Reduzida A liquidez reduzida é uma medida mais severa da posição líquida da empresa. Dá a ideia clara da capacidade da empresa para, sem grandes riscos, ser capaz de solver os seus compromissos de curto prazo. É utilizado com a mesma finalidade do rácio de liquidez geral, mas admite que as existências não poderão ser transformadas de imediato em dinheiro. - WIKIPEDIA
Rácio de liquidez reduzida - Medida de liquidez: activo circulante menos existências, dividido pelo passivo de curto prazo. - GLOSSÁRIO GESBANHA

Índice de liquidez seca

Definition from own experience or research:
Mede a capacidade de pagamento da empresa no curto prazo. É igual ao ativo circulante menos estoques dividido pelo passivo circulante.

Example sentence(s):

O índice de liquidez seca é parecido com o índice de liquidez corrente, com a única diferença que este índice exclui os estoques do ativo circulante da empresa, por ser geralmente "o ativo de menor liquidez" GITMAN (1997, p.110). - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina
O Índice de Liquidez Seca (ILS) tem como objetivo apresentar a capacidade de pagamento da empresa no curto prazo sem levar em conta os estoques, que são considerados como elementos menos líquidos do ativo circulante. Após retirarmos os estoques do cálculo, a liquidez da empresa passa a não depender de elementos não-monetários, suprimindo a necessidade do esforço de “venda” para quitação das obrigações de curto prazo. - Professor Ronald Domingues
