What is "Cash"?
The Current Cash and Cash Equivalents by Asset metric is a financial ratio that measures a company's ability to meet its short-term financial obligations by comparing the amount of cash and cash equivalents the company has on hand to the total value of its assets. This metric is important in determining a company's liquidity and financial health, as it provides insight into how easily the company can convert its assets into cash to pay off its obligations. A higher ratio indicates better liquidity and a lower financial risk for the company.
Example: Example: A company used the Current Cash and Cash Equivalents by Asset metric to determine their ability to cover short-term debts, resulting in a decision to temporarily halt expansion plans and focus on increasing cash reserves.
