I have choose Apple and Debt/ Equity Ratio. Below are several screen shots that have to do with the question. a.You will need the same ratio for the company and its industry. What does the Debt/ Equity Ratio tell you about the company compared to its industry? Be sure to convey the meaning of the ratio in your answer dont merely say its better than the industry. And be sure to compare to the industry. b.Based on the ratio you chose. Does the financial ratio information you reported above tend to support your purchase of this stock, or does this ratio raise some questions in your mind in retrospect? Dont force the answer (its perfectly okay to say that the ratio is not favorable for your company the key is to explain why).
