Apple Inc. | 2023 Form 10-K | 30







Question: What is the Current Ratio for Apple Inc. for the year 2023, and how does it compare to 2022?
Answer: Current Ratio is calculated using the formula: Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities.

For 2023:
Current Assets = $143,566 million
Current Liabilities = $145,308 million
Current Ratio = $143,566 million / $145,308 million = 0.99

For 2022:
Current Assets = $135,405 million
Current Liabilities = $153,982 million
Current Ratio = $135,405 million / $153,982 million = 0.88

Analysis:
The Current Ratio for Apple Inc. increased from 0.88 in 2022 to 0.99 in 2023. This improvement indicates a better liquidity position, with the company having nearly enough current assets to cover its current liabilities. The increase in the Current Ratio suggests that Apple Inc. has enhanced its ability to meet short-term obligations, reflecting improved financial health. However, a Current Ratio below 1 still indicates that the company has more current liabilities than current assets, which could pose liquidity risks. The upward trend is positive, but further improvement is needed to achieve a more comfortable liquidity position.
