Hi there!

Looking to use my available tutor credits to get the answers to this doc. Thanks!!

image text in transcribed Instructions: Complete the financial ratio analysis in the next tab of this workbook using the information contained in it and the remaining five tabs. To complete the financial ratio analysis, use the background information and consolidated financial statements of FirstRate for its FYs 20X0 - 20X4 (contained in the remaining tabs in this workbook) and the FY 20X5 balance sheet and income statements of the company that you completed in Topic 3 of the course. In each shaded row of cells, provide the information indicated for use in computing each ratio or the correct formula to compute the ratio, as appropriate. For each ratio, comment briefly on the meaning of the observed trend, such as its likely implications for FirstRate's business and finances, and relationship of the trends in each ratio to trends in other ratios. The background paper, Financial Ratio Analysis, provides useful guidance for completing this assignment. The facilitator will grade this assignment, assigning up to 100 points for it as follows: Maximum - Accuracy of information (financial data input) used to compute ratios 20 - Accuracy and formatting of computed ratios (formula results) 30 Earned 20 points 30 - Quality and clarity of analysis of trends in computed ratios, including implications for business and financial outlook, and relationship of different ratios' trends to each other Total points 50 100 50 100 FirstRate Company and subsidiaries Financial Ratio Analysis 20X0 - 20X5 (U.S. dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts) Fiscal year ended December 31, 20X0 20X1 20X2 20X3 20X5 Analysis of trend, relationship to other ratios' trends 20X4 LIQUIDITY Current (working capital) ratio 1.4 Total current assets 163,400 Total current liabilities 116,700 Acid-test (quick) ratio Cash and cash equivalents For each ratio, comment briefly here on the meaning of the observed trend, such as its likely implications for FirstRate's business and finances, and relationship of the trends in this ratio to trends in other ratios.
