Explanation / Answer
current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
firm = 1 and industry = 2.3, that means the industry has more currents assets over its current liabilities
CR of industry is good
quick ratio = current assets- inventory / current liabilities
firm's CA over inventory is 1 wheras industry is 2, that means industry has more liquidity as compared to firm
Net profit margin = net profit / turnover * 100
firm net profit margin = 1% wheras industry = 5% which means industry is earning more proft and turnover of industy is good as compared to firm
ROE= return (net income) / total assets(shareholders fund)
firm ROE =2% and industry = 10% which means industy is earnling more
average collection period = average debtor / credit sale * 365
firm ACP =10 days and industy ACP = 30 days which mean firm would collect payment from debtor within 10days wheras indusrty in 30days
average payment period = average creditor / COGS * 365
firm APP =45 days and industy ACP = 30 days which mean firm delay in payment of creditors by 45days wheras indusrty in 30day
