Liquidity Ratios Explained Visually
Liquidity ratios measure whether a company can pay its short-term debts with assets it can turn into cash quickly. The three main measures are the current ratio, which divides current assets by current liabilities; the quick ratio, which removes inventory from current assets; and the cash ratio, which uses only cash and cash equivalents. Each ratio is stricter than the one before it, so they are best read together.
- Current ratio: all current assets against current liabilities
- Quick ratio: excludes inventory and prepaid expenses
- Cash ratio: only cash and near-cash assets
- Interpretation: what higher or lower values signal
- Industry context: why healthy levels vary by sector
Use the map to revise formulas and compare ratios side by side before an exam or case study. To build a version from your own accounting notes, try CogniGuide.
Liquidity Ratios Questions Answered
Common questions about the ratios, and how to make your own map.
What is the difference between the current ratio and the quick ratio?
The current ratio includes all current assets. The quick ratio removes inventory and prepaid expenses, because those are harder to convert to cash quickly. The quick ratio is therefore a stricter test of short-term solvency.
Why is the cash ratio the most conservative liquidity measure?
It counts only cash and cash equivalents against current liabilities. Receivables and inventory are excluded, so it shows what the company could pay immediately without selling anything.
Which file types can I use to make my own liquidity ratios map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) files, text or Markdown notes, or an image. You can also type the topic directly.
Is it free to create a liquidity ratios mind map?
Yes. The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed. Paid plans raise the limits, and you can turn any map into a quiz.
