Monro Muffler Brake Inc's cash ratio has fluctuated between 0.00 and 0.10 during this period.
A cash ratio of 0.01 suggests that for every dollar of current liabilities, the company has only one cent in cash and cash equivalents available to cover those obligations. This indicates a limited ability to meet short-term obligations using its readily available cash resources.
The trend over the five-year period shows that the company had a significantly low cash ratio in 2020 before experiencing a substantial increase to 0.10 in 2021. However, the cash ratio dropped back to 0.01 in the following years.
