The phrase
"current ratio" refers to a financial ratio that shows the ability of a company to cover its short-term obligations or debts using its short-term assets. It is calculated by dividing current assets (such as cash, accounts receivable, and inventory) by current liabilities (such as accounts payable and short-term loans). The higher the
current ratio, the better the company's ability to pay off its debts in the near future.
