Correct Answer: The quick ratio indicates whether the firm is in a position to pay its current liabilities within a month or immediately.


Solution : Answer = The quick ratio indicates whether the firm is in a position to pay its current liabilities within a month or immediately.

The quick ratio assesses the firm's ability to meet short-term liabilities, but not necessarily within a specific timeframe, like a month. The quick ratio evaluates a company's ability to settle its short-term obligations using its most liquid assets. Liquid assets, such as cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable, are those that can be readily converted into cash. The ratio is calculated by dividing these liquid assets by current liabilities .
Hence, the correct option is 1.
