Here we are making a business report which evaluates the performance of Mountainarious Sporting Co. to take loan from Canadian Commercial Bank.

A slightly low return on assets than the previous year shows that the profitability of the assets of the company falls down a little. Shareholders consider financial statements to make decisions regarding buying and selling their shares. They are also concerned about the maximization of their wealth. They take into account the profitability by showing interest in return on sales or net profit margins.
The first two ratios that help analyze a company’s profitability are asset turnover, how effectively a company uses its assets, and return on total assets, profitability of total assets regardless of how they are financed. For Dick’s Sporting Goods asset turnover is 2.18 and return on total assets is 8.41%; for comparison Nike’s assets turnover is 1.56 and return on total assets is 19.58%. The reason why Dick’s can have a better asset turnover but a drastically worse return on total assets is because asset turnover excludes long-term investments but return on total assets includes them. This means that Nike has many more profitable long-term investments than Dick’s.

Liquidity denotes how fast a firm can turn their assets into cash.
