1. Using the financial statement information, calculate the following ratios for each of the prior two
fiscal years. You must show the formula and the input data. Then, explain what the ratios may
indicate for the company in 2-3 sentences for each one (be as specific as possible, and include
chapter concepts such as liquidity, etc.). (7)
