INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
Central examination has an exceptionally expansive degree. One angle takes a gander at the general elements of an organization. The other side considers substantial and quantifiable components. This implies crunching and breaking down numbers frame the money related explanations. Proportion investigation is not simply contrasting diverse numbers from the accounting report salary proclamation, and income explanation. It's contrasting the number against earlier years, different organizations.
There are different systems or methods utilized as a part of breaking down monetary explanations, for example, near articulation, pattern examination, basic size proclamation, calendar of changes in living up to

Income proportions are Gross benefit proportion, Operating proportion, Expense proportion, Net benefit proportion, Net working benefit proportion, Stock turnover proportion.
3] Composite proportion:

The analytical formats used in response to question number 3 are threefold; 1) trend analysis, 2) common size analysis and 3) percentage change analysis. The rationale for this three-fold approach is that all other ratio analysis is derived from these three. The utilization of trend analysis aids in giving clues as to the financial status of the company is likely to improve or deteriorate. Likewise, the common size analysis relates to the fact that all income statement items are divided by

Analysing the ratio of one with the other in the industry provides for better understanding about the performance of the company in market. An investor has to make a comparative analysis before making any investment decision.
Financial ratios are "just a convenient way to summarize large quantities of financial data and to compare firms' performance" (Brealey & Myer & Marcus, 2003, p. 450). Financial ratios are very useful tools in order to determine the health of a company, help managers to make decision, and help to compare companies that belong to the same industry in order to know about their performance.
A crucial facet of the examination of strengths and weaknesses of a business is a financial analysis. Financial analysis is comprised of ratio analyses, trend analyses, and comparisons with other companies. Financial ratios can be categorized consistent with the data they deliver. Financial ratios are valuable gauges of a business's operation and fiscal condition. Most ratios can be computed from information delivered by the financial statements. The following categories of ratios are commonly used: Liquidity ratios, Financial Leverage ratios, Turnover ratios, Profitability ratios, and Market Value ratios. A full financial profile of Panera Bread and their key competitors can be found in Table 3.
Analytical procedures are used at the initiation of an audit in order to carve a clear path into what areas, accounts in particular, of the financial statements of the company we will be placing more emphasis on in order to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
This financial ratio analysis will help to identify Rolls-Royce’s strength and weaknesses during three years period from 2011 until the end of 2013. While it is a helpful tool for investors to make investment decisions base on profitability of the company, managers can make strategic decisions of the company. However, there are some limitations in using financial ratio analysis alone when make decisions. Comparing ratios with the industry norm and with the company’s rivals, the user of the financial ratio analysis will be able to anticipate future prospects. Rolls-Royce’s nearest rivals are General Electric (GE) and Pratt & Whitney, owned by United Technologies Corporation (UTC). These world 's top three companies are investing massively in R&D to satisfy demand of a booming global market for environmentally cleaner, energy efficient power engines that result in a huge number of orders of commercial airliners.

This section will discuss ratio analysis for the following ratios: current ratio, quick (acid-test) ratio, average collection period, debt to assets ratio, debt to equity ratio, interest coverage ratio, net profit margin, and price to earnings ratio. Depending on the end user which ratio carries more importance, however, all must be familiar with ratio analysis. Details on each company's performance for each of these areas can be found in the attached ratio analysis worksheet.
Upon examining P&G’s financial ability to meet short-term obligations, it is apparent that not only have their current liabilities exceeded current assets over the last three years, but close to half of their current assets have been tied up in inventories and other illiquid assets. For example, assessing both the quick and current ratio respectively shows that less than 70% of the firm’s current assets could be converted immediately to pay current commitments, but a little more than 90% of the firm’s liabilities would ultimately be covered. Though, based on industry average similar findings occur; therefore, it must not be uncommon for industries similar to P&G to

Total revenue, which is the total amount of income received from the sales of a certain quantity of goods or services. Total revenue can be calculated by multiplying the price of a product times the quantity sold.
