Healthy current ratio. Peak performance has $2.5 of current asset for every $1 current liability owed

Explanation:

Current ratio is a business analysis tool that is used to evaluate the ability of a company to meet short term financial obligation. It is a measure of the relationship between the current asset and and the current liability by diving the current asset by the current liability.

For the purpose of effective analysis, a good current ratio is in the range of 1.2 - 2 : 1. In other word, the current asset should be higher than the current liability in at least 1.2 times.

In a situation where the current liability is greater than the current asset, it is precarious and the owing company might not be able to meet up with repayment.
