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 above, 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 loved using Solomon Exam Prep. I used Solomon for 1 month and
passed my Series 65 exam. I had previously used Kaplan and failed the same exam. I feel
as if Solomon provided significantly better Exam prep and technology in a more
concise manner than any other system I have used. Thank you for such a great
service.

I just wanted to let you know I took the Series 65(85), Series 63(90) and Series 7(90) and am pleased as can be with your guides and practice materials. Not only do they contain the facts that are needed to pass the exams, but are actually presented in a format that you are still interested and awake by the time you get there! Really brilliant instructions.

Within a few months, I passed the SIE, Series 7, 63, 65, & 79 exams all on the first try using Solomon Exam Prep. This material will prepare you for the actual exam. I will say in many instances the practice exams are more difficult than the actual exam. Solomon and the various tracking metrics will more than help you prepare for the rigors of exam day. I highly recommend the practice exams and ability to dive back in to review weak areas. I will continue to use their products and services in the future.

I am 73 years old and have been retired for 5 years. My fulfilling career of 38 years was mainly as a portfolio manager in a trust setting. A good friend of mine recently started an RIA and asked me to consider coming to work for him. Since I loved my job and retirement is boring in comparison, the decision to jump back in was rather easy. You know the old saying: if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. But yes, I must first pass Series 65. The study materials and whole program you have constructed are excellent. I read the phone-book sized reading materials and took many practice exams on the website. Just this morning I sat for the test and passed. Hooray!! I am convinced that your test preparation process made the exam seem easy. So I will recommend to anyone preparing for a securities exam to definitely consider getting your program. Thanks again for your outstanding program and guidance."
