In Kereon

Kereon shows this figure as its data vendor publishes it and does not recompute it, so the vendor's exact inputs — which period's earnings, which balance sheet, which adjustments — are not visible here. The calculation above is the standard definition.

Also called: current ratio, quick ratio.
