Question 01What is the purpose of financial ratio analysis?
Answer

It summarizes relationships in financial statements to support comparisons over time or with relevant peers.

Question 02What do liquidity ratios assess?
Answer

A company's ability to meet short-term obligations as they come due.

Question 03What is the current ratio formula?
Answer

Current assets ÷ current liabilities.

Question 04What is a common quick ratio formula?
Answer

(Cash + short-term investments + net receivables) ÷ current liabilities; exact conventions can vary.

Question 05Why does the quick ratio usually exclude inventory?
Answer

Inventory may take time to sell and convert into cash, so it is less immediately liquid than cash or receivables.
