02 August 2014 it is because the assumption is that the stock cannot be converted into cash quickly whereas debtors can be. in real world this assumption may not hold good

02 August 2014 Its because of stage of operating cycle stage. Raw materials will be converted into finished good. Then it will be sold and then comes the question of realization from debtors. Stock is at a very early stage of operating cycle whereas debtors is at a final stage of operating cycle. For this reason stock is excluded from current assets for calculation of Quick Ratio.
