Definition from
VentureLine:
Acid test ratio is an analysis method used to measure the liquidity of a business by dividing total liquid assets by current liabilities.
Example sentences:
The acid test ratio is important because it helps to show how healthy a company it is; in terms of being able to pay off any short-term debt is that it may have acquired. Basically, the premise of this ratio was to use as a test for a doom and gloom scenario for a company. (Associated Content, Inc. )
Along with being a viable way to establish the financial health of the company, employing the acid-test ratio to the condition of the corporation can be helpful in avoiding future problems. If the evaluation indicates the company current is working under a negative acid-test ratio, then the time for cutting operating costs and eliminating any expenses that are not central to the ongoing life of the company can help to turn the state of the company into a positive one. Using the acid-test ratio as a way of making sure all resources of the company are being used to best advantage is an important process for businesses of all sizes, from home businesses to multinational corporations. (WISEGEEK)
Investors analyze the acid test ratio, also known as the adroit ratio or the bound ratio. This ratio excludes record and prerewarded expenses, which the flow ratio includes, and it confines assets to money and stuff that the concern can adroitly change to money. This narrow grouping of assets is known as adroit or liquid assets. (Designbygreg)

Example sentences:
ACID TEST (ATTIVITA’ CORRENTI – MAGAZZINO) / PASSIVITA’ CORRENTI L’acid test (o indice di liquidità immediata) esprime la capacità dell’azienda di far fronte ai propri impegni a breve mediante le disponibilità propriamente liquide (e cioè escludendo le rimanenze dall’attivo corrente). Questo indice, rispetto all’indice current ratio, è più ristretto poiché non si considerano le risorse investite nelle scorte. (Glossario honyvem inform. commerciale)
