excludes inventory because some companies can
have trouble selling their inventory do to
several reasons including competition or product

Inventory/ Current Liabilities Division A had a

shows how much a company is in debt compared to

Division C was more in trouble with a higher
ratio of 1.819462.

percentage. The formula is Net
Income/Sales 100 Division A had a profit
margin of 6.005263 Division B -38.748 and
Division C 6.005263. The higher the percentage
the more profit the company is making. Division

This is also referred to as Days Sales in
Receivables. It measures how long it takes a
company to receive its receivables. The formula
is Accounts Receivable/ (Sales)/365 Division
A with a ratio of 45.625 and Division B with a
ratio of 43.12811, both are fairly decent short
amount of time to receive its receivables.
Division C is the quickest with a ratio of
9.445175, this low average collection period
could indicate a tight credit policy and sales
can be lost to competitors who allow their
customers more time to pay.

It measures how many days of inventory the
company contains. Too high of a value indicates
that the company is not selling its products and
too low of a value indicates that the company
does not have enough on hand. The formula is

ratio of 42.07639, both have a decent amount of
stock. Division B has a lower amount of stock
off hand with a ratio of 71.62264 which means it
is not selling its stock.

Conclusion
Based on our ratios it is easier to analysis
which division is more profitable and which
division is in trouble. From our results I would
chose to invest in Division A because it seems
they have the greatest profits, and have the
least trouble paying for their expenses.
Division C is also doing well but not as strong
as Division A. Division B seems to be doing
poorly and if this continues it will go bankrupt.
