Explain what it means when it is stated that a company has a liquidity issue or problem versus when it has a solvency issue or problem.

Answer:

In my words first i will explain about liquidity

liquidity issues or problems means a company has a temporary cash flow problem.

Its assets are greater than its debts, but some assets are illiquid

although in financial books assets are greater than debts, but it can’t meet its current payment requirements.

Solvency issue or problem:

A Company has debt that it can’t meet through its assets.

i.e. even if it could sell all its assets, it would still be unable to repay its debts.

iquidity Ratios for calculate the assets and liabilities:

Quick ratio = (Current assets – Inventories) / Current liabilities??

Solvency Ratio for calculate the assets:

Interest coverage ratio = Operating income (or EBIT) / Interest expenses
