Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M4 exam
Question #: 150
Topic #: 2
Which of the following is a measure of liquidity?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Liquidity measures a company's ability to meet short-term obligations. The current ratio = current assets รท current liabilities, indicating whether the business can cover debts due within one year. Ratios above 1 suggest healthy liquidity, though excessively high ratios may show underutilised cash. Gearing reflects debt-to-equity (solvency); ROI assesses profitability; total asset turnover measures efficiency. Responsible sourcing requires buyers to evaluate liquidity to ensure suppliers have the working capital to maintain operations and deliver reliably. Poor liquidity is a red flag for potential supply disruption.
