- Return on equity
- Gross profit margin
- Debt to equity ratio
- Debt ratio
- Current ratio
- Quick ratio

Keep in mind that you are trying to determine how the firm is performing under each of the listed ratios. In a memo to the chief executive officer (CEO), include the following:

- Address other methods of analyzing financial statements aside from ratio analysis.
- Explain your analysis of the firm, and make recommendations for improvement.
