02 Oct Liquidity and Solvency Measures – October’s Free MBTN Tutorial

Posted at 09:24h in Entrepreneurship, Finance, Financial Statement Analysis, Online Education by admin 0 Comments

When it comes to assessing the financial health of a business or an individual, two crucial concepts come into play: liquidity and solvency. These two measures provide insights into an entity’s ability to meet its short-term obligations and its long-term financial stability. This month’s free MBTN will delve into what liquidity and solvency mean, why they are essential, and how they are measured.

Liquidity refers to the ease with which an entity can convert its assets into cash or cash-equivalents to meet its short-term financial obligations. Short-term obligations typically include bills, salaries, and other expenses due within the next year. Maintaining good liquidity is crucial for ensuring the day-to-day operations of a business and avoiding insolvency.

Solvency, on the other hand, assesses an entity’s ability to meet its long-term financial obligations, often referred to as its financial leverage. Long-term obligations include loans, bonds, and other liabilities with maturities beyond one year. Maintaining solvency is essential for the sustainability and growth of a business.
