The quick or acid test ratio differs from the current ratio in excluding

  • A.receivables from the numerator
  • B.cash from the numerator
  • C.payables from the denominator
  • D.inventory from the numerator

Answer: D

Correct answer: inventory from the numerator

Inventory is the least liquid of the current assets: it must be sold before it becomes a receivable and collected before it becomes cash, and in a difficulty it may not sell at all. Removing it gives a stricter test, which is why the quick ratio matters most for a business carrying slow-moving stock.
