Fairchild Semiconductor International Current Ratio Calculation

The current ratio is mainly used to give an idea of the company's ability to pay back its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets.

Fairchild Semiconductor International's Current Ratio for the fiscal year that ended in Dec. 2015 is calculated as

Current Ratio (A: Dec. 2015 )	=	Total Current Assets (A: Dec. 2015 )	/	Total Current Liabilities (A: Dec. 2015 )
	=	766.9	/	226.2
	=	3.39

Fairchild Semiconductor International's Current Ratio for the quarter that ended in Jun. 2016 is calculated as

Current Ratio (Q: Jun. 2016 )	=	Total Current Assets (Q: Jun. 2016 )	/	Total Current Liabilities (Q: Jun. 2016 )
	=	790.3	/	192.4
	=	4.11

Fairchild Semiconductor International (NAS:FCS) Current Ratio Explanation

The current ratio can give a sense of the efficiency of a company's operating cycle or its ability to turn its product into cash. Companies that have trouble getting paid on their receivables or have long inventory turnover can run into liquidity problems because they are unable to alleviate their obligations. Because business operations differ in each industry, it is always more useful to compare companies within the same industry.

Acceptable current ratios vary from industry to industry and are generally between 1 and 3 for healthy businesses.

The higher the current ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its obligations. A ratio under 1 suggests that the company would be unable to pay off its obligations if they came due at that point. While this shows the company is not in good financial health, it does not necessarily mean that it will go bankrupt - as there are many ways to access financing - but it is definitely not a good sign.

If all other things were equal, a creditor, who is expecting to be paid in the next 12 months, would consider a high current ratio to be better than a low current ratio, because a high current ratio means that the company is more likely to meet its liabilities which fall due in the next 12 months.
