Why 2:1 is considered as ideal current ratio?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / prasanth p
If a company's current ratio is in the range 2:1, then it
is generally considered to have good short-term financial
strength. If current liabilities exceed current assets (the
current ratio is below 1), then the company may have
problems meeting its short-term obligations. If the current
ratio is too high, then the company may not be efficiently
using its current assets or its short-term financing
facilities.

Answer / kushal jani
This is ideal because if a company has more current assets than current liabilities it can easily meet short term financial obligation.
it shows the company has maintained it's assets and liabilities according to the condition.
if the current ratio is below one then company has more current liabilities than current assets which shows company may face problems to meet the short term financial obligation.
If the company has too high current ratio, which shows company is not using it's assets effectively.
