RATIO ANALYSIS ON YAMAHA
a. Current ratio
The current ratio is also called the working capital ratio, as working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. This ratio measures the ability of a company to pay its current obligations using current assets. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
Interpretation and comparative analysis
Since the current ratio of Yamaha is (2.93, 2.77, 2.59) increasing in the respective years, it is capable to pay its obligations. Company’s ability to pay its debt increases year by year. Comparing to Suzuki, Yamaha’s ability to pay its debt is high and has enough resource to pay its debt over the next business cycle.

Return on equity tells you how effectively a company is using the dollars invested in it by stockholders. ROE is the most often quoted single statistic when describing a firm 's performance. It is also one of the statistics considered to be most useful by stockholders.
Total asset turnover : This ratio measures the efficiency of a company’s use of its assets
The current cash debt ratio only measures the ability of a firm 's cash, along with investments easily converted into cash, to pay its short-term obligations. In 2007, the company has a current cash debt ratio greater than 1 and is in better financial shape than in 2006, when the ratio was less than 1.
First of all, return on asset (ROA) is a ratio used to measure how efficient a company generates profit using its assets, which is the invested capital. We noticed that HH’s ROA was increasing from 2006 to 2010. However, HH’s ROA for 2011 dropped dramatically from 18.41%(year

When companies have an interest in partnering, it is prudent for each to conduct a financial analysis–ensuring that both parties are making a sound investment. The purpose of the financial analysis is to scrutinize the profitability and financial stability of a company, while addressing any concerns (Jiambalvo, 2014, p. 535). In the case study, Bob Sherman founder of Mandrake Motorcycle manufacturing made a proposal to Marty “Monk” Fisher, a motorcycle dealer. Fisher proposed that Monk be the sole dealer for his motorcycles in the state of Ohio. Before investing, Mr. Sherman must do a financial analysis on Mandrake Motorcycle to insure that there are no financial concerns. This paper will analyze Mandrakes Motorcycle 's balance sheet, and income statement–calculating the ratios for 2015 and 2014. The calculated ratios will include, return on assets, gross margin percentage, receivables turnover, days’ sales in receivables, inventory turnover, days’ sales in inventory, debt to equity, and times interest earned. In addition, the paper will highlight areas of concern, and discuss what is the best decision for Monk based on the analysis. Finally, the paper will ascertain whether the financial analysis was indicative of future financial issues for Mandrake Motorcycles.
During this period, the Return on Assets increased from 5.7% in 2012 to 34.6% in 2013. This implies the number of cents earned on each dollar of assets increased from 2012 to 2013. This shows that the business has become more profitable. Equally, the Return on Equity also increased from 12.0% in 2012 to 46.5% in 2013. This similarly implies that the company in 2013 was more efficient in generating income from new investment. This, also can be attributed to the sale of the Digital Business Brand which enabled the company appraise its strategic plan.

Abbott’s fixed asset and total asset turnover ratios can tell us how well the firm uses its assets to generate revenue. The fixed asset ratio provides the proportion of sales to fixed assets and tells us how much revenue is
Another ratio we will look at is total asset turnover rate. Total asset turnover rate measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate sales. In 2001 the total asset turnover rate was 1.079 and in 2000 it was 1.193. The fixed asset turnover ratio is similar to the total asset turnover ratio but includes only fixed assets. The fixed asset turnover rate measures the capacity utilization and the quality of fixed assets and was 3.771 for 2001 and 3.854 for 2000.
The return on equity conveys the profits of the company as a rate of return on the amount of owners' equity. ROE uses average owners equity over the specified time period and net income. Historically a ROE of between 10% and 15% were considered average. Recently higher rates in growth industries have been greater.
Asset turnover ratio is also increasing in 1994. It shows that total assets are being efficiently used in producing revenues.
