    The quick (or acid-test) ratio is a more stringent measure of liquidity. Only liquid assets are taken into account. Inventory and other assets are excluded, as they may be difficult to dispose of. Most of the time companies have bulk of inventories in their warehouse; in this case current asset ratio does not generate the proper results. Quick ratio is used to cross check, more difference in current and quick ratio indicates that company sales is slow and inventory level is too high. Higher the value of quick ratio, better the company liquidity position. One thing is most important to note that quick ratio is always lower than current ratio.
    It is used to determine if a company can pays its short term obligations with its current assets. The current ratio is another test of a company's financial strength. It calculates how many dollars in assets are likely to be converted to cash within one year in order to pay debts that come due during the same year. In general, a ratio of 2 to 1 is usually considered good. Too small a ratio indicates that there is some potential difficulty in covering obligations. A high ratio may indicate that the firm has too many assets tied up in current assets and is not making efficient use to them.
    the desirable current ration is 2:1 but it depends according to different companies.
    B.E (sales)= Fixed cost/ Contribution margin ratio
    B.E (units)= Fixed cost/ Contribution Margin/unit
    Allowance for doubtful debts is an account for making provision for the projected bad debts. It is used in the allowance method. And net off when sales are made.
    Product cost is the cost used to bring in the goods at the point of sale. It might include purchases+transportation charges. Whereas period cost is the cost of the whole period such as MOH.
