Quick Ratio Prepaid Exclusion Basis

Name the quick-ratio policy before comparing calculations that treat prepayments differently. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Current assets/liabilities, inventory, prepaid balances, formula policy and reporting date.

How it works

1. Record whether the supplied formula excludes inventory only or inventory plus prepayments.
2. Calculate each stated basis separately in one currency.
3. Do not relabel an alternative formula as the sole correct policy without reviewer evidence.
4. Return policy-sensitive results; no solvency or lending decision.

The output

current_assets | inventory | prepaids | liabilities | formula_basis | ratio | hold

Worked fictional example

Fictional assets 120, inventory 30, prepaids 10, liabilities 50 give 1.8 on inventory-only exclusion and 1.6 on inventory-plus-prepaid exclusion. Record the difference as 0.2 ratio units, not 20% cash improvement.
