    “Acid Test Ratio” shows us whether the entity could pay all its current liabilities if they came due immediately. It’s calculated by the available cash plus accounts receivable plus short–term investments divided by current liabilities. In 2011, the acid test ratio was 0.64. By 2012, it decreased to 0.43. Even though the acid-test ratio is less than 1 which rates in the lower third quartile in the industry of 1.6, 0.9 to 0.6, it indicates an issue with repaying current liabilities. This could stem from rapid expansion of inventory with the intentions of increasing sales. While it is a weakness and of particular concern, a rise in the ratio should be seen by 2013 due to the increase of suggested sales.…
