1. After reviewing and comparing the ratios and the common-size numbers, decide on which company you want to invest in and provide a written rationale based on the company's comparative measures to the other companies. For your analysis, you must speak to the company's comparative measures of liquidity, solvency, profitability, and common-size analysis and use these as a basis for your decision. You will also need to include some of the numbers you computed in your common size and ratio analysis to help support your decision. As a guide, your analysis will not be complete if it is only a paragraph (or even two) in length. Please provide adequate depth and detail, especially if you want consideration for full credit.
