INTRODUCTION:
Financial ratio analysis is a fascinating topic to study because it can teach us so much about accounts and businesses. When we use ratio analysis we can work out how profitable a business is, we can tell if it has enough money to pay its bills and we can even tell whether its shareholders should be happy!
Ratio analysis can also help us to check whether a business is doing better this year than it was last year; and it can tell us if our business is doing better or worse than other businesses doing and selling the same things.
In addition to ratio analysis being part of an accounting and business studies syllabus, it is a very useful thing to know anyway!
The overall layout of this project is as follows: Facts about the company I am Analyzing, the core Analysis, a conclusion, an appendix and a bibliography.
