40. LIQUIDITY RATES

The overall liquidity ratio characterizes the company's ability to repay short-term obligations:

Current liquidity = Current assets / Current liabilities.

Current liquidity ratio {current ratio) calculated as the ratio of current assets to short-term liabilities (as a percentage). The calculation uses the average values ​​of balance sheet indicators for the billing period. This ratio shows whether the company has enough funds that can be used to pay off short-term liabilities. In international practice, the normal value of the liquidity ratio is considered to be from 100 to 200% (sometimes up to 300%). The lower limit is due to the fact that working capital should be at least sufficient to pay off short-term liabilities. An excess of working capital over short-term liabilities by more than three times is also undesirable, since it may indicate an irrational asset structure.

Quick liquidity ratio {Quick ratio) is defined as the ratio of the most liquid part of current assets (cash, receivables, short-term financial investments) to short-term liabilities (in percent).

Current liquidity = (Current assets - inventory) / Short-term liabilities,

where TMZ - commodity-material stocks.

The calculation uses the average values ​​of balance sheet indicators for the billing period. The normal value of the coefficient should exceed 100%. However, in the practice of Russian enterprises, 70-80% is considered to be the optimal value.

Net working capital (Net working capital) is equal to the difference between the current assets of the enterprise and its short-term liabilities (in monetary units):

Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities.

The calculation uses the average values ​​of balance sheet indicators for the billing period.

Net working capital is necessary to maintain the financial stability of the enterprise, since the excess of working capital over short-term liabilities means that the enterprise can not only pay off its short-term liabilities, but also has reserves for expanding activities.

Optimal amount net working capital depends on the characteristics of the company's activities, in particular on the scale of its activities, sales volumes, inventory turnover rate and receivables. The lack of working capital indicates the inability of the company to repay short-term liabilities in a timely manner. A significant excess of net working capital over the optimal need indicates the irrational use of enterprise resources.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Heart computer 13.03.2020

Scientists in Israel have created a mini-computer to be installed directly in the human heart. The device, called the V-LAP, is shaped like a tube and can be easily inserted through a patient's veins. The computer will collect data on the work of the heart, namely blood pressure.

With the help of the device, doctors will receive data that was previously inaccessible to them, which will help to prescribe the appropriate treatment for the patient.

V-LAP was created by the Israeli company Vectorious Medical Technologies. The device is charged from a special belt worn by the patient from the outside. Artificial intelligence will collect, process and send data.

Specialists have opened a search for volunteers for clinical trials of the computer. One of the first patients with V-LAP in the heart was a 71-year-old Briton named Andrew.

The device is expected to help the world's 26 million people who live with heart failure.
