In many industries we use the notion of liquidity. In the most General sense it is how quickly the various assets can acquire cash, while maintaining its initial cost. Thus, sooner for some property to get money so that you don't have to understate its value, the more liquid it is. However, if we are talking about the liquidity of the enterprise, then invest in this concept a slightly different meaning. In this case, liquidity is the ability of the organization to timely meet their obligations. The valuation of the firm from this position can be done in various ways, but we will focus on the calculation of liquidity ratios.
The First indicator that we pay attention to is the ratio of General liquidity. This value, which is also sometimes referred to under the name "current ratio" indicates the level of how it the most urgent obligations of the company are covered by its current assets. The meaning of the comparison with this group of property is that it is much liquid in comparison with non-current assets, that is, it can be used to pay off urgent debts. In the course of scientific and practical activity it was found that the current ratio should be in the range between one and two. The lower limit is the criterion of liquidity-term debt should be fully covered with current assets. The upper limit – the requirement of efficiency, i.e. a higher value indicates that current assets are too many and they are used inefficiently.

It is Clear that all businesses are different, and the rules are largely averaged. In this regard, often calculate the value of the coefficient, which is normally for a particular organization. The method of calculation consists in comparing the sum of the ratio of reserves to short-term liabilities with the value of these liabilities by division. The meaning is that even for the payment of all indebtedness of the company will be sufficient current assets to continue in operation.
The Following indicator shows the extent to which it will be provided short-term liabilities with full recovery of accounts receivable, existing on the balance sheet. This ratio is called the index of intermediate liquidity. Its calculation is similar to the previous figure, but excluded from the numerator the amount of the reserves. Based on the characteristics of the calculation, we can conclude that the upper limit of the indicator is the current ratio. The standard value of the lower boundary is also set at level 1.
If from the numerator to continue to exclude the property as long as there will not be only absolutely liquid assets, in the end, we will be able to determine the value of absolute liquidity. Obviously, the point is what share the most urgent debts to pay off immediately. In the Western practice, the company is liquid if it can instantly recover a quarter of their debts, but in the Russian reality more common figure of one tenth.
Despite the fact that inventories are the least liquid part of current assets, the company can make a decision about their implementation and the direction of the proceeds to cover term debt. To determine what proportion of the debt will be repaid as a result of this operation, by using the liquidity ratio which can be obtained when raising funds. Determine it by comparing the amount of reserves established by the firm, to the value of short-term liabilities.
In Addition to normative comparisons, the current ratio and other indicators should be studied in dynamics. The fact that the compliance rate in the presence of negative trends can also indicate a deterioration of the financial situation.
