The Quick Ratio
Another important measure of a company’s ability to stay afloat is the quick ratio, which essentially measures the same thing as the current ratio, with one key difference. The quick ratio does not include inventory among the assets counted on the top line of the equation. Thus, the formula is:
As opposed to the current ratio, the quick ratio is meant to give an adviser a sense of a company’s ability to stay afloat without having to liquidate its inventory, which could be very hard to do without limiting the company’s ability to further do business. Naturally, a company with a ton of inventory but not a ton of cash would look less attractive using the quick ratio compared to the current ratio.
Here’s an example of how the ABC Company’s quick ratio of 0.75 was calculated based on the following amounts found on its balance sheet:

I passed my 66 today - thank you Solomon for the assistance and materials. It was incredibly difficult! I wish I had watched the videos even more.

I have taken and passed the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 using this amazing Solomon study program. Each time, I felt prepared for the exam and confident in my answers. Solomon's study structure and varying mediums of study make it interactive and easy to learn.. It's an amazing deal for the tools received. I would highly recommend this program!

So, on this exam [Series 66] I used both your material and Kaplan. mainly because the bank had already paid for kaplan and I had grown accustom to your laid back writing style along with a great mp3 version of the book. Anyway, I got a fair amount of questions from both the kaplan material and your material before taking the test. I have to say that your material matched more closely to the test than I ever would have expected. I will be coming back to Solomon exam prep for ALL of my exam prep needs. :-) Thanks!

I found encouragement along the way from reading other people's testimonials, so payback is to write one of my own. Solomon is the gold standard for customer service. I passed the 66, SIE first tries -- received a 69% on the 7 (failed), but passed on the 2nd attempt. I'm in awe over the outreach I received from day 1 but especially from Jeremy on how to move forward after falling short on the Series 7 - followed his advice - one of which was to get the accompanying videos and passed. Watching/studying the Chapter 5 video had a big impact. I also printed the questions I got wrong that I particularly struggled with while taking the online exams, printed and/or turned them into flashcards, then taped many of them around the house. It forced me to constantly revisit the information and moved me past a superficial understanding. I'll take a messy-looking home for a short time than having to retake a 3 hour and 45 minute exam.

I used Solomon's Online Exam Simulator as a supplement to company provided materials for the Series 7 & 66, passing with scores of 86% & 88%. The online simulator made it easy to study on the go and provided peace of mind of preparedness walking in on test day. Highly recommended.

I purchased Solomon Exam Prep to get a leg up on the S66 exam. I had taken it a few times already missing it by 1-2 points. A friend of mine enrolled on the test site and passed it on the first try. We did share notes while she was studying. It was then I realized Solomon has something the other test prep companies did not have, which helped me get over the hump. I will recommend it to anyone who really want to pass it the first time up!
