Interpretation: This ratio is one of the efficiency ratio used by analysts to determine the
overall effective utilization of the resources by a company. It measures the productivity of the
company’s fixed assets to generate revenue(Kim and Im,2017). Higher ratio indicates higher
efficiency in utilizing assets and lower ratio indicates that firm does not utilize its fixed assets
efficiently. The company has 0.11 times ratio in 2018 and at end of year 2019 it is calculated that
0.15 times. Easy hotel PLC is in good position because it indicates that the firm is utilizing its
fixed assets efficiently. The return on capital would likely be higher in such cases, and it is taken
positively by the investors and lenders.

because Easy hotel PLC has a negative gross profit as well as adverse net profit. So it indicates
that company is running in loss from last year. Company current ratio is also high from ideal
current ratio it means firm does not effectively and efficiently utilize its current assets and
resources. Therefore, Rapston hotel does not acquire Easy hotel PLC company.
