can someone explain to me what the ratio means and how it is calculated please? How would you describe Ford's comparative performance and financial positions? Examine Ford's financial ratios. What does each ratio tell you about Ford's financial status? (demonstrate an excellent understanding of the ratios i.e. calculated and interpreted all the results accurately) I am very lost by this table. any explanation will be appreciated. Thank you!
