Current Assets :
A
balance sheet account that represents the value of all assets that can
reasonably expected to be converted into cash within one year. Current assets
include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, marketable
securities, prepaid expenses and other liquid assets that can be readily
converted to cash.
Current
Liabilities :
A
company’s debts or obligations that are due within one year. Current
liabilities appear on the company’s balance sheet and include short term debt,
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other debts.
Current
Ratio :
One
application is in the current ratio, defined as the firm’s current assets
divided by its current liabilities. A ratio higher than one means that current
assets, if they can all be converted to cash, are more than sufficient to pay
off current obligations. All other things equal, higher values of this ratio
imply that a firm is more easily able to meet its obligations in the coming
year.
In
Bangladesh the issue of current liabilities are often seen as overlapping among
different types of liabilities.
The
standard C.A. /C.L ratio is 2:1
