Liquidity ratio
Wikimedia disambiguation page
In accounting, the liquidity ratio expresses a company's ability to repay short-term creditors out of its total cash. It is the result of dividing the total cash by short-term borrowings. It shows the number of times short-term liabilities are covered by cash. If the ratio is greater than 1.0, it means fully covered.
The formula is: LR = liquid assets/short-term liabilities
Variants

Current ratio measures whether a firm has enough resources to meet its short-term obligations. It is the ratio of a firm's current assets to its current liabilities.
Quick ratio (also known as an acid test) measures the ability of a company to use near-cash ("quick") assets to eliminate current liabilities immediately.
Reserve requirement, a bank regulation that sets the minimum reserves each bank must hold.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
