Companies that operate in different industries may have very different financial ratio values. These differences may grow even wider when we compare companies located in different countries.
Compare three leading companies on their current ratio, debt ratio, leverage ratio, and times-interest-earned ratio. Compute the ratios for Company B, Company N, and Company V.
