Can someone help me with the financial ratios and expand on what those numbers mean? I'm still a bit confused about understanding and going about them because I think I am actual calculating most of them incorrectly.

Especially for Quick Ratio, ROA, ROE, Debt-Equity Ratio, Fixed-Asset Turnover, and Cash Flow Coverage Ratio, or Operating Cash Flow/Sales Ratio.

How has Aurora Textile performed over the past four years? Be prepared to provide financial ratios that present a clear picture of Aurora's financial condition.
