solvent company/enterprise/business


Explanation:

Any of these terms are correct and widely used, so sorry for the multiple answers.

In finance or business, solvency is the ability of an entity to pay its debts. Solvency can also be described as the ability of a corporation to meet its long-term fixed expenses and to accomplish long-term expansion and growth. The better a company's solvency, the better it is financially. When a company is insolvent, it means that it can no longer operate and is undergoing bankruptcy.

Financial analysts use solvency ratios to determine a company's ability to meet its obligations.

Accounting ratios measuring that financial soundness of a business enterprise and its ability to meet short-term obligations as they come due. There are several commonly used solvency ratios:

• The quick ratio (also called the acid test ratio or liquid ratio), calculated from the following formula:

cash + accounts receivable / current liabilities

• The current ratio, a comparison of current assets and current liabilities that measures ability to pay current debts:

current assets / current liabilities

• The current liabilities to net worth ratio, which indicates the amount due to creditors within a year as a percentage of owners' (or stockholder's) capital:

current liabilities / net worth
