Question: What was the quick ratio for NEE in 2023?
Answer: The quick ratio is calculated by subtracting inventories from total current assets and then dividing by total current liabilities. For NEE in 2023, the total current assets were $15,361 million, inventories were $2,106 million, and total current liabilities were $27,963 million. Therefore, the quick ratio for NEE in 2023 is:

Quick Ratio = (Total Current Assets - Inventories) / Total Current Liabilities = ($15,361 million - $2,106 million) / $27,963 million ≈ 0.47

This ratio indicates that NEE has $0.47 in liquid assets for every $1 of current liabilities
