Answer:
The Working Capital Ratio or Current Ratio is a financial ratio that measures whether or not a company has enough cash to pay off all the debt payments that are due over the next 1 year (12 months) It compares the organizations current assets and its current liabilities.
Formula:
WCR = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Ex: Let us say ABC Corp has total assets of 5 crores and owes State Bank of India a loan of 3 crores to be repaid before the end of next year, the WCR for them would be
WCR = 5,00,00,000/3,00,00,000 = 1.66
This effectively means that, as of today ABC corp has 1.66 rupees for every rupee of debt it owes SBI.
Though this is good, an acceptable WCR in market terms is 2 or greater which shows that the company is sufficiently liquid and financially stable.
