Describe how the current ratio is calculated. If a company has a very low current ratio, what might this mean? If a company has a very high current ratio, what might this mean?


The current ratio is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities (current assets/current liabilities). A very low current ratio can be unfavorable, indicating that a company may not be able to pay its debts on time. A very high current ratio may indicate that a company is not using its assets to the best advantage. In other words, it could probably use its excess funds more effectively to increase its overall profit.
