Unit 3: Financial Statement Ratios Analysis This paper is an assessment of ABC company’s performance. The analysis focuses on the five critical ratio classifications. These are liquidity, activity, financing, market value, and profitability. A close look at these ratios gives insights into ABC company's financial stability, operational efficiency, leverage, market valuation, and profitability trends over the three years. The evaluation supports informed decision-making and provides stakeholders with a comprehensive view of the firm's financial health and performance. The financial analysis aims to establish an institution's financial performance and growth.
Part 1: Five Classifications of ABC’s financial ratios
The calculation will help determine if the company can sustain itself, where improvements are needed, and progression, and degression in specific areas, and it will determine if we move forward with an acquisition. Here are the calculations for ABC company’s ratios.

Part 2: Effects of the Acquisition
The financial department plays a pivotal role in evaluating the potential acquisition of ABC company. The department's financial analysis and risk assessment expertise is crucial in determining the acquisition's financial feasibility and long-term sustainability. The finance department will provide in-depth financial models (Nazah et al., 2022). These include cash flow projections, return on investment calculations, and other financial analysis models. This will help
in estimating the potential return on investment. The finance department has analyzed ABC company's historical financial performance, as presented in part 1. Since the department will be responsible for identifying the red flags, trends, and financial challenges that pose risks to the

acquisition. Our thoughts on the current ratio, based on the document above, are as follows. In the year 2013 the current ratio was 0.85, in 2014 it was 0.88 and 2015 it was 0.97. A current ratio
that is lower than 1 show that this company is having a difficult time meeting short-term financial obligations. However, from 2013 to 2015 the current ratio has significantly improved. Which means that are effectively managing their current assets and liabilities.
The sales department will provide information on the following aspects for valuable insights into the ABC Company’s sales and revenue. First, the potential market for ABC Company’s products or services by looking at customer demographics, market segmentation, and consumer behavior that may impact the company’s future sales performance. Second, they would provide information about the landscape in the industry. Third, the sales growth potential of ABC Company by analyzing the market position and how it compares to its competitors. Lastly, the sales force capabilities of the ABC Company. All this information can be used to analyze the potential for future revenue growth and identify any risks or opportunities that could impact the
acquisition
.
From a marketing perspective ABC company seems to have a lower inventory turnover ratio of 8 time a year compared to an industry average of 44, which may indicate that they are suppliers to other companies in which they must hold more inventory throughout the year for their customers. Their ROE compared to the industry average is almost double even though their Gross Profit had a slight decline in 2014, their COGS consistently increased. Their average earnings per share are consistent with industry
comparisons, along with having higher averages in their net profit margins and operating profit margins. Our marketing analysis approves of an investment into the ABC company based on the prior information knowing that these ratios do

What is the most commonly used base item for a common size balance sheet?
Total assets
Net income

1. Ratio Analysis (Formula Approach)
Step 1: Quick Take: Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis is an important way of evaluating financial statements. Using ratios, instead of simply raw financial data, can help to make better
comparisons of the strength of companies.
There are many different kinds of ratios, which can be grouped into five general categories:
1. Liquidity ratios: These ratios are used to analyze whether or not a firm is able to pay its short-term debts (typically maturing within
the next year). Good liquidity ratios are needed to continue operations of the firm.
2. Asset management ratios: These ratios are used to analyze the efficiency of asset use by a firm. Reasonable asset management
ratios are required to sustain acceptable levels of net income.
3. Debt management ratios: These ratios analyze how a firm has financed its assets, as well as whether or not the firm can repay its
long-term debt.
4. Profitability ratios: These ratios analyze how profitable a firm is. These…

Decision makers and analysts look deeply into profitability ratios to identify trends in a company's profitability. Profitability ratios give insights into
both the survivability of a company and the benefits that shareholders receive. Identify which of the following statements are true about profitability
ratios. Check all that apply.
A higher operating margin than the industry average indicates either lower operating costs, higher product pricing, or both.
If a company's operating margin increases but its profit margin decreases, it could mean that the company paid more in interest or taxes.
An increase in the return on assets ratio implies an increase in the assets a firm owns.
