accounting and financing ratios into account, we can observe clearly that company B is performing much better than company A. The state of liquidity is excellent in company B where the current ratio is 6.132 in the year 2010, and it increased in 2011. If we look at the quick acid test ratio, we can see that company A is holding greater stock at year end, and that is why it is experiencing a poor liquidity position and cash is locked up in closing stock. On the other hand, company B is in a far better position as compared with company A which has a current ratio of 1.22 in the year 2011, and it has diminished over time. The stock turnover of company B has doubled over the years as opposed to that of company A. Company A is utilizing its assets much more efficiently to generate sales as opposed to company B. This was evident from the fact that the total asset turnover of company B was 1.43 in 2011 and 1.908 of company A in 2011. Moreover, company B is also experiencing less risk in the form of a very low debt ratio which means it doesn’t finance its assets majorly through debt. Thus, company B has minimized its financial risk by not relying on external sources of finance to raise capital. This not only allows the company to reduce liabilities, but also to maintain control and increase profit since fewer or no financial charges might incur. The debt ratio of company A was 0.83 in 2011 as opposed to 0.1572 of company B in 2011. The gross profit margin in company B is higher than that of company A, which indicates higher profitability and higher earnings per share which prove to be an incentive to invest in the company. It is also important to note that despite a falling performance of company A from year 2010 to 2011 in terms of liquidity and profitability, the company has experienced an improvement in cash flow balances. The major reason for this is the increase in the proceeds from convertible debts and notes payable in the financing activities. * Bibliography Franklin James Plewa, G., 1995. Horizontal Analysis.
