Current Ratio is the proportion or ratio of current assets to current liabilities. It shows that how many times an entity can cover its current liabilities by current assets (favorable proportion is2 times). Current assets are short term assets (expected realisation within12 months) and Current liabilities are short term liabilities (due within12 months).

 

Working Capital is the excess of entity's current assets over current liabilities. It is that portion of current assets which remains after deducting the amount of current liabilities from the amount of current assets. This remaining portion of current assets is financed by long term liabilities (long term loans, partners' capital etc).

current ratio shows that company able to pay its current liabilities the higher the ratio is better to repay its current liability.

Working capital means current assets - current liability if the current asset is more the creditors get paid their money quickly. and if the current assets is really too much it is the meaning of not utilizing the funds effectively by the firm or company is thinking of future cash flow problems.

Current ratio determines the proportion/ratio by which current assets are available to pay the current liabilities of the business.

 

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

 

Whereas the Working Capital measures the liquidity (in terms of amount) of the business to payout its current or short term liabilities/obligations.

 

Working Capital = Current Asset - Current Liabilities

The current ratio is  measures whether or not an entity has enough resources to pay its debts over the next12 months. It compares a firm's current assets to its current liabilities.   Working capital is not a ratio, proportion or quotient, but rather it is an amount. Working capital is the amount remaining after current liabilities are subtracted from current assets.
