Current Assets
|
|
From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia In accounting,
a current asset is an asset on the balance sheet which is expected to be
sold or otherwise used up in the near future, usually within one year, or
one business cycle - whichever is longer. Typical current assets include
cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, the portion of
prepaid accounts which will be used within a year, and short-term
investments. |

On the balance sheet, assets will typically be
classified into current assets and long-term assets.
The current ratio is calculated by dividing total current assets by total
current liabilities. It is frequently used as an indicator of a company's
liquidity, its ability to meet short-term obligations. |
