Main Financial Strategies and Market Analyses

Liquidity Definition: A person or company is considered liquid if they can meet current payment obligations. If not, they risk insolvency.
Importance of Liquidity Ratios:
- Liquidity 1: Measures if liquid assets can cover short-term debts.
- Liquidity 2: Considers both liquid assets and receivables against short-term debts.
- Liquidity 3: Evaluates current assets against short-term debts, providing a broader view of financial health.
Ideal Liquidity Ratios:
- Liquidity 1 should ideally be between 10-30%, but varies by industry.
- Liquidity 2 should be at least 100% to ensure coverage of short-term debts.
- Liquidity 3 should also be at least 100%, with a recommendation of 200% for added security.

Methodology/Step-by-Step Guide

Calculating Liquidity 1:
- Formula: (Liquid Assets / Short-term Debt) x 100
- Example: (30,000 / 70,000) x 100 = 42.86%
Calculating Liquidity 2:
- Formula: ((Liquid Assets + Receivables) / Short-term Debt) x 100
- Example: ((30,000 + 50,000) / 70,000) x 100 = 114.29%
Calculating Liquidity 3:
- Formula: (Current Assets / Short-term Debt) x 100
- Example: ((30,000 + 50,000 + 80,000) / 70,000) x 100 = 228.57%
