The Quick Ratio
Another important measure of a company’s ability to stay afloat is the quick ratio, which essentially measures the same thing as the current ratio, with one key difference. The quick ratio does not include inventory among the assets counted on the top line of the equation. Thus, the formula is:
As opposed to the current ratio, the quick ratio is meant to give an adviser a sense of a company’s ability to stay afloat without having to liquidate its inventory, which could be very hard to do without limiting the company’s ability to further do business. Naturally, a company with a ton of inventory but not a ton of cash would look less attractive using the quick ratio compared to the current ratio.
Here’s an example of how the ABC Company’s quick ratio of 0.75 was calculated based on the following amounts found on its balance sheet:

What are people saying?
Karen and Team Solomon, thank you so much for all your support.
Your Series 7 program was easy to understand. The "Ask the Professor"
was invaluable for the Series 66. You are the program of choice for our office.

I purchased Solomon Exam Prep to get a leg up on the S66 exam. I had taken it a few times already missing it by 1-2 points. A friend of mine enrolled on the test site and passed it on the first try. We did share notes while she was studying. It was then I realized Solomon has something the other test prep companies did not have, which helped me get over the hump. I will recommend it to anyone who really want to pass it the first time up!

I found encouragement along the way from reading other people's testimonials, so payback is to write one of my own. Solomon is the gold standard for customer service. I passed the 66, SIE first tries -- received a 69% on the 7 (failed), but passed on the 2nd attempt. I'm in awe over the outreach I received from day 1 but especially from Jeremy on how to move forward after falling short on the Series 7 - followed his advice - one of which was to get the accompanying videos and passed. Watching/studying the Chapter 5 video had a big impact. I also printed the questions I got wrong that I particularly struggled with while taking the online exams, printed and/or turned them into flashcards, then taped many of them around the house. It forced me to constantly revisit the information and moved me past a superficial understanding. I'll take a messy-looking home for a short time than having to retake a 3 hour and 45 minute exam.

I love Solomon Exam Prep! The materials are comprehensive and simulate the type of questions on the tests. And the staff is so committed to their students' success. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to pass both the 7 and the 66.

I successfully passed the series 66 test yesterday! I could honestly say it was one of the happiest days of my life! I want to personally thank the excellent staff at Solomon exam prep! They are so knowledgeable and when I asked questions, they always went over the top with explanations and even sometimes creating charts for me to break down the concept. I felt really well served by this group.
If you are looking for a company to help you succeed, you have found it Within Solomon exam prep team!

I passed my 66 with an 83%. The main method of studying was the mp3 that I downloaded and listened to on my commute to and from work. The audio book was the reason I did well. Thanks!
