+An input to a process that is in limited supply.
-If the quick ratio were to fall below 1.0, this would indicate that the entity would not be able to meet its current liabilities out of its cash in hand and the proceeds of its other current assets (excluding inventories).
+For example, appropriately skilled labour, or particular raw materials.
-<b>Example</b><br />
-Current assets (excluding inventories) = £3m. <br />
-Current liabilities = £4m. <br />
-The Quick ratio is: <br />
-= 3 / 4 <br />
-= 0.75.
