Why?

The Acid-Test Ratio measures how well a business can deal with an abrupt reduction in sales. Although it might sound extreme, it happened to many stores due to COVID-19 in 2020. This test might even show how long a business can last, considering the scenario. The primary purpose of this test is to establish how fast a company can be liquidated and help retailers find ways to deal with financial crises and debts.
