A current ratio of 2:1 is acceptable in most industries. The higher the ratio, the more capable the company is to pay its obligations. The current ratio of KML remained below 1 from 2009-2011 but crossed 1 in 2012 due to a sharp decline in the short term borrowings.…

    Current Ratio indicates a company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations. The Current Ratios of Google Corporation in 2008, 2009, and 2010 were 8.76, 10.62 and 4.16. As we know that high Current Ratio indicates more liquid for a company. From the result we calculated by Google Corporation’s financial data, in 2008, the current ratio was 8.76, which was much higher than 1. That means the company did not have problems in 2008 to meet their short-term obligations. The situation changed better in 2009, and the ratio increased to 10.62. The current assets were over ten times with current liabilities. The Current Ratio of 2008 and 2009 indicate that the company would not have problems in meeting their short-term obligations. However, it also means that the company didn 't use their assets efficiently. In my opinion, to keep the Current Ratio at 1:1 or 2:1 is much more proper than keep such high Current Ratio. Actually in 2010, the managers tried to reduce the ratio and the Current Ratio…

    The current ratio is a test of short-term debt-paying ability. In 2005 the current ratio for the company was 3.1 and in 2006 it was 2.94. I believe that the decline in the ratio could be due to eliminating slow selling products and other stagnant current assets along with an improvement in the financial situation. Generally, a current ratio is suppose to be around 2 on average, but the adequacy of a current ratio depends a lot on the make-up of the assets. It seems like The Boston Beer Co. is on the right track…
