When bankers look at accounting ratios of a firm, do they look at the current ratio or the acid-test ratio?

it says here http://www.financesc...ity-ratios.html

"The Quick or Acid-Test Ratio is very similar to the Current Ratio only that it eliminates Inventory and Prepaid Assets from the calculation of Current Assets. Why inventory? Inventory is often the least liquid current asset that the company can hold. Inventory is also prone to obsolescence, damage or theft. Furthermore, a large amount of inventory being held shows operation inefficiency of the firm"

So i guess the Acid-TEst ratio is more relevant than the current ratio and thats what bankers use?

"Experian, the credit reporting agency has recently released a new Credit Monitoring Service, called Triple Alert. Costing $4.99 per month, Triple Alert will monitor your credit reports at all 3 major bureaus, including Experian®, TransUnion, and Equifax, and immediately notify you if any major changes occur in your reports.

4.99$ per month for such a useful service is really good. Other similar services cost between $9.99 - $19.99 per month"

anyone planning on using this service?
