Hello, I have already calculated the ratios. I just need help commenting and comparing the results. The pictures are my calculations.

Directions:

A. Make a 4 or 5-year trend analysis, using the earliest year as the base year, of (1) net sales, (2) net income. COMMENT ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TREND RESULTS FOR BOTH COMPANIES AND COMPARE.

B. Compute the 2013 and 2012 (1) profit margin, (2) asset turnover, (3) return on assets, and (4) return on common stockholders equity. COMMENT ON THE PROFITABILITY OF BOTH COMPANIES AND COMPARE.

C. Compute for 2013 and 2012 the (1) debt to total assets and (2) times interest earned ratio. EVALUATE THE SOLVENCY OF BOTH COMPANIES AND COMPARE.

D. Compute the (1) current ratio, the (2) acid-test (quick) ratio, (3) receivables turnover, and (4) inventory turnover. COMMENT ON THE LIQUIDITY OF BOTH COMPANIES AND COMPARE.
