Based on the financial information provided, calculate the following ratios and explain their purpose:

Current Ratio Inventory Turnover Ratio Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio Debt to Equity Ratio Return on Assets Ratio Asset Turnover Ratio Return on Equity Ratio Profit Margin Ratio Price-Earnings Ratio Dividend Yield Ratio

Note: When a balance sheet amount is related to an income statement amount in computing a ratio, the balance sheet amount should be an average of that period. The average is calculated by adding the ending balances of this year and last year and dividing the result by 2. Describe how a bank lending officer might use ratio analysis. Select five ratios that would be most useful for the purpose and explain the rationale for your selection.
