Explanation
In Ben Grahams calculation of liquidation value, inventory is only considered worth half of its book value, and accounts receivable is considered worth 75% of its value. Therefore the liquidation value is lower than calculated from total current assets.
Liquidation Value = Cash and short-term investments + (0.75 * accounts receivable) + (0.5 * inventory) - total liabilities
