• What is the financial situation of the company as of February 28th?

• What areas of strength exist in the company? What are the company's weaknesses?
• What are some areas where the company has opportunities for growth for the company's financial situation?
• In order to help you justify the above answers, financial ratios should be calculated. At minimum the following ratios should be calculated and used to support your arguments:
• Debt to Equity Ratio (Total Liabilities/Equity) This ratio provides a look at how much the creditors have put into the company compared to how much the owners have put into the company.
• Current Ratio (Current Assets/Current Liabilities) This provides a look at whether or not the business has enough current assets to pay their current liabilities.
• Profit Margin (Net Income/Sales) This provides a measure of how much profit is earned on each dollar of sales.
