Suppose you are conducting an analysis of the financial performance of Cute Camel Woodcraft Company over the past three years.

The company did not issue new shares during these three years and has faced some operational difficulties. The company has thus pilot tested some new forecasting strategies for better operations management. You have collected the company$$s relevant financial data, made reasonable assumptions based on the information available, and calculated the following ratios.

Ratios Calculated

Year $1$ Year $2$ Year $3$

Price$-$to$-$cash$-$flow $3\mathrm{.}202\mathrm{.}241\mathrm{.}79$

Inventory turnover $6\mathrm{.}405\mathrm{.}124\mathrm{.}10$

Debt$-$to$-$equity $0\mathrm{.}400\mathrm{.}320\mathrm{.}26$

Based on the preceding information, your calculations, and your assumptions, which of the following statements can be included in your analysis report? Check all that apply.

Cute Camel Woodcraft Company$$s ability to meet its debt obligations has improved since its debt$-$to$-$equity ratio decreased from $0\mathrm{.}40$ to $0\mathrm{.}26.$

A plausible reason why Cute Camel Woodcraft Company$$s price$-$to$-$cash$-$flow ratio has decreased is that investors expect lower cash flow per share in the future.

A decline in the inventory turnover ratio can be explained by the new inventory management system that the company recently adopted, which led to more efficient inventory management.

A decline in the debt$-$to$-$equity ratio implies a decline in the creditworthiness of the firm.
