Welcome to CFA Level 1 Finance! Today we explore Working Capital and Liquidity - specifically liquidity assessment and issuer comparison. Liquidity refers to a company's ability to meet its short-term financial obligations using its current assets. This concept is fundamental for investors and creditors as it helps assess the financial risk and short-term survival capability of companies. Working Capital is calculated as Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. Current Assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, and short-term investments - these are assets that can be converted to cash within one year. Current Liabilities include accounts payable, short-term debt, and accrued expenses - obligations due within one year. A positive working capital indicates the company has sufficient short-term assets to cover its short-term obligations. There are three key liquidity ratios used in financial analysis. The Current Ratio divides current assets by current liabilities and measures overall liquidity - a ratio of 2.5 means the company has 2.5 dollars of current assets for every dollar of current liabilities. The Quick Ratio excludes inventory since it may be harder to convert to cash quickly. The Cash Ratio is the most conservative, using only cash and cash equivalents. Higher ratios generally indicate better liquidity, but industry context matters. When comparing issuers, we analyze their liquidity ratios side by side. In this example, Company A consistently outperforms Company B across all three ratios. Company A has a current ratio of 2.5 versus 1.8, a quick ratio of 2.0 versus 1.2, and a cash ratio of 1.25 versus 0.8. This suggests Company A has stronger short-term liquidity. However, remember to consider industry norms, trends over time, and the quality of underlying assets when making investment decisions.
