merge with ?
I dont agree on this merger, simply bacuse it is easier accessible as it stands on its own —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.192.72.220 (talk • contribs).

Ithink it should since its the same equation that has two names. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.83.201.88 (talk • contribs).

Merge Merge Merge! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.205.77.169 (talk • contribs).

An "acid test" is a Quick Ratio make it so each of these articles are together. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.170.135.207 (talk • contribs).

As one ratio is merely a more "stringent" measure than the other, surely to keep them separate would be misleading?Johnnythehat 20:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge. They are the same ratio. I don't see any reason to keep them apart. a  kendall  17:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Definitely merge them. The acid test is the same as the quick ratio. The current ratio on the other hand is a different equation.

The acid test equation did not account for Supplies. Added. REF: Laura Allanm, Business 121 Lab Manual. Twenty-Third Edition, pg 120. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.249.50.123 (talk) 20:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Quick & Acid should be the same; Cash ratio should include only cash & "cash like" (i.e. ST securities) without receivables... So, CURRENT RATIO = (cash + ST sec. + receivables + inventory) / CL; QUICK (or ACID) RATIO = (cash + ST sec. + receivables) / CL; and the "most liquid" is CASH RATIO = (cash + ST sec.) / CL ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.139.115.141 (talk) 10:50, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

The final description of Quick Ratio as Total Assets over Total Liabilities is totally misleading. This is one of the family of gearing or leverage ratios, which does not relate to the immediate liquidity of the business, i.e. its ability to pay debts in the short term. It should be removed.
