Quick Ratio - Definition
Below, you'll find a definition of this investing term...

Definition: A ratio that measures a company's ability to meet its current liabilities with its liquid assets.

TeenAnalyst Advice: It's important that a company be able to pay their debts and other liabilities.  When using a quick ratio, it's a good rule of thumb that a healthy company should have at least a ratio of 1.0.

To calculate this, divide the liquid assets (cash, accounts receivable, and marketable securities) by the company's current liabilities.
