What is Liquidity Ratio?..

Answer / sahil mangla

Liquidity ratio / Acid Test ratio / Quick Ratio is a short
term solvency ratio which shows the ability of a business
concern to meet its current liabilities or liquid
liabilities to be more precise.
It is calculated as :-
Liquid Assets
Liquid Ratio = --------------------
Liquid Liabilities

Where,
Liquid Assets = Current Assets - Stock - Prepaid expenses
+ Liquid Value of Stock

Liquid Assets means those assets which are convertible into
cash without any reduction in value, e.g.marketable
securities.
Liquid value of stock is the value at which the stock can
be realised at a short notice and is taken instead of its
cost because the stock price is not constant, and pp
expenses are not included as they cannot be used to pay off
any liability.

Liquid Liabilities = Current Liabilities - Bank O.D.
- Cash Credits - S.T.Loans

These are subtracted because bank O.D and Cash Credit
Facility are not withdrawn by banks all of a sudden and
liquid liability should only include those liabilities
which may be due instantaneousy at a very short notice.

ALTERNATIVELY,

Liquid Ratio may be computed as :-

Liquid Assets
--------------------
Current Liabilities

BUT, the first approach is much more advisable as it
provides the true picture of the liquidity position.

Sean Alicandri, a sophisticated investor who is both willing and able to take risk, has just noticed that Mid- West Airlines has become the target of a hostile takeover. Prior to the announcement of the offer to purchase the stock for $72 a share, the stock had been selling for $59. Immediately after the offer, the offer the stock rose to $75, a premium over the offer price. Such premiums are often indicative that investors expect a higher price could occur if a bidding was erupts for the company or if management buyout of the firm. Of course, if neither of these scenarios occurs, the price of the stock could fall back to the $72 offer price. In addition, if the offer were to be withdrawn or defeated by management, the price of the stock could fall below the original stock price. Alicandri has no reason to anticipate that any of these possibilities will be the final outcome, but the realizes that the price of the stock will not remain at $75. If a bidding war erupts, the price could easily exceed$100. Conversely, if the takeover fails, he expects the price to decline below $55 a share, since he previously believed that the price of the stock was overvalued at $59. With such uncertainty, Alicandri does not want to own the stock but is intrigued with the possibility of earning a profit from a price movement that he is certain must occur. Currently there are several three months put and all options traded on the stock. Their strike and market prices are as follows: Strike Price Market Price of Call Market Price of Put $50 $26.00 $0.125 55 21.50 0.50 60 17.00 1.00 65 13.25 1.75 70 8.00 3.50 75 4.25 6.00 80 1.00 9.75 Alicandri decides the best strategy is to purchase both a put and a call option (to establish a straddle). Deciding on a strategy is one thing; determining the best way to execute it is quite another. For example, he could buy the options with the extreme strike price (i.e. the call at $80 and the put at $50). Or he could buy the options with the strike price closest to the original $72 offer price (i.e. buy the put and the call at $70). To help determine the potential profits and losses from various positions, Alicandri developed profit profiles at various stock prices by filling in the following chart for each position: Price of the stock Intrinsic Value of the Call Profit on the Call Intrinsic Value of the Put Profit on the Put Net Profit $50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 To limit the number of calculations, he decided to make three comparisons: (1) the purchase of two inexpensive options-buy the call with the $80 strike price and the put with the $60 strike price, (2) the purchase of the options with the $70 strike price, and (3) the purchase of the options with the price closest to the original stock price (i.e., the options with the $60 strike price). Construct Alicandri’s profit profiles and answer the following questions. 1) Which strategy works best if a bidding war erupts? 2) Which strategy works best if the hostile takeover is defeated? 3) Which strategy works best if the original offer price becomes the final price? 4) Which of the three positions produces the worst result and under what condition does it occur? 5) If you were Alipcandri’s financial advisor, which strategy would you advise he establish? Or would you argue that he not speculate on this takeover?
