information about the individual items in the notes to the financial
statements.
Analysis of Current Liabilities

ability to pay maturing
obligations and meet
unexpected needs for
cash.

Current ratio permits


us to compare the
liquidity of different-
sized companies and
of a single company at
different times.

Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities =

$504,000 ÷ $400,000 = 1.26:1
