Activity Ratios essentially evaluate the operational efficiency of any business by measuring the rate of utilization of various assets. These ratios are directly linked with the life blood of a business i.e. Revenue. The efficiency is measured in terms of generation of revenue by the respective assets. These ratios are also known as performance efficiency ratios.
Liquidity ratios measure the company’s ability to satisfy shortly maturing commitments. Much insight can be obtained from these ratios about the company’s cash solvency at present as well as its ability to remain solvent amidst adversity.

In the terms of accountancy "Liquidity" refers to the ability of the firm to meet its current liabilities out of current resources. The Liquidity ratios are also known as Short term solvency ratios. These ratios are used to assess the short term financial position of the business entity.
So its obviously that short term creditors of the firm are primarily interested in the liquidity ratios of the firm as they want to know how promptly or readily the firm can meet its current liabilities.
Whereas, Activity ratios are Turnover ratios, because these ratios are calculated on the basis of "cost of good sold" or "net sales". Turnover indicates how fast, how many number of times the capital employed floating, moving in the business process. These ratios indicates how efficiently the management utilizing the working capital and stock for the sales. Higher turnover ratios shows the better use of capital and resources.

Activity ratios assess how effectively a company is able to generate revenue in the form of cash and sales based on its asset, liability and capital share accounts. Examples of such ratios include the inventory turnover ratio and the accounts receivable turnover ratio.
Activity ratios helps to evaluate a company's fundamentals because, in addition to expressing how well a company generates revenue, activity ratios also indicate how well the company is being managed.

Liquidity ratios determine a company's ability to pay off its short-term debt obligations and convert its assets to cash. It is important that a company has the ability to convert its short-term assets into cash so it can meet its short-term debt obligations. Generally, a higher current ratio indicates that the company is capable of paying off all of its short-term debt obligations.

1.LIQUIDITY RATIOS
2.ACTIVITY RATIOS
3.PROFITABILITY RATIOS
4.SOLVENCY RATIOS
5.INVESTMENT ANALYSIS RATIOS


Liquidity ratios measure the company’s ability to satisfy shortly maturing commitments.
The basic function of the liquidity ratio is to measure a company’s capability to settle all current debt with all current available assets. The stability and financial health of a company and its efficiency in paying off debt is indicated by liquidity ratios and is of great importance to market analysts, creditors and potential investors.

The lower the liquidity ratio, the greater the chance the company is, or may soon be, suffering financial difficulty

The current ratio is one of the most frequently used liquidity ratios. It is computed by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. The higher the current ratio, the greater is the company’s ability to pay its operating bills.
Whereas,Activity measure how effectively a firm is using its assets.
Activity ratios measure the amount of resources invested in a company's collection and inventory management. Because businesses typically operate using materials, inventory and debtors, activity ratios determine how well an organization manages these areas. Activity ratios are one major category in which a ratio may be classified.

Liquidity ratios measure the short term financial position of the firm. while the activity ratios measure the efficiency and effectiveness of a firm in managing its resources and assets.

Both of the ratios are very important to analyse the position of any business.

A liquidity ratio is an indicator of whether a company's current assets will be sufficient to meet the company's obligations when they become due. The liquidity ratios include the current ratio and the acid test or quick ratio. The current ratio and quick ratio are also referred to as solvency ratios.
Whereas, Activity Ratios are financial analysis tools used to gauge the ability of a business to convert various asset, liability and capital accounts into cash or sales. The faster a business is able to convert its assets into cash or sales, the more efficient it runs. Activity ratios become more meaningful when compared to industry-average activity ratios. Different industries have different industry-average activity ratios and pitting your ratios against those of peer businesses allows you to know if your ratios are better or worse.

Financial ratios are use for comparing the strength and weakness of the company. There are different types of ratios like liquidity ratio, activity ratio, etc
Generation of revenue may or may not be in cash and so, activity ratios do not specify the generation in terms of cash. Liquidity simply focuses on the cash that is readily available for the payment of liabilities.
