Hello Accounting Experts! I need assistance with my Ratio Analysis Assignment please.

You are a bank loan manager and you have had two companys (Arrow and Root) come to your bank requesting a 6-month loan. I'm provided with a Microsoft Excel file that contains the financial statements for 2 companies (Arrow-S and Root-S) and a tab where i have to calculate all ratios (Ratio template for students). I'm also provided with another document asking for conclusions made based on the ratio analysis made.

There are two parts to this assignment:

1. In the Microsoft Excel file on the Ratio template for students tab you will be calculating Liquidity, Solvency, and Profitability ratios for each company, stating what makes a ratio more successful and comparing the results between the two companies to determine which company has stronger results.

The calculations for Arrow and Root will be completed in columns D and F. Please ensure that you indicate the units for each ratio calculation. For example, if the unit is days, times, :1, record that in columns E and G beside your calculation. Complete all calculations to 2 decimal places. The calculation portion of the assignment must be completed in Microsoft Excel (preferably using linking of cells) and then submitted electronically.

In column H comment on whether the ratio should be higher or lower to be more successful. Please note when comparing the working capital ratios between companies, the companies need to be considered comparable in size. For the purposes of this assignment, assume Arrow and Root are comparable.

In column J comment on which company has a better ratio result based on your calculations. (It may be the same depending on your particular version.)

2.In Microsoft Word, you will write a conclusion relating to which company you would approve a 6-month loan for based on your calculations on the Ratio Template for Students tab (in Microsoft Excel in Part 1 above). The final write-up should be in paragraph form and Liquidity, Solvency, and Profitability should all be addressed separately in the correct section of the document. You will also answer the final question relating to data integrity.
