This ratio shows us how well the company’s ability to pay back its liabilities, which are debt and accounts payable, and how well they can pay it back with their assets. Assets are cash, marketable securities, inventory and accounts receivable. This ratio gives a broad idea of the company’s financial health, which in this case is .10 below the average.

(2,680,112-1,716,480) / 1,309,800 = .93. This ratio compares the cash, short-term marketable
