FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 2 1.Ratio Analysis Year-To-Year Comparison Based on the depiction of 2016 to 2017 the ROA has decreased from 5.5% to 5.2%. The ROC has reduced from 6.8% to 6.5%. The cash from operations has reduced from USD 1,269 in 2016 to $ 1,163.5 in 2017.In addition to this the cash from investing has also reduced. The current ratio and quick ratio has increased from 1.7x in 2016 to 3.5x in 2017 and 1.5x in 2016 to 3.2x in 2017.The total debt to capital has further increased from 129.4% in 2016 to 154.2% in 2017. The total debt to capital has increased from 56.4% in 2016 to 60.7% in 2017. Formula Descriptions ROA is calculated by net income reported for a period and dividing the same with total assets. ROC is EBIT divided by capital employed. Current ratio is current assets divided by current liabilities and quick ratio is current receivables added to short term investment divided by current liabilities. The total debt is to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by total equity(Uechiet al.2015). Explanations for changes The reducing trend of the ROA is visible because of the reducing income and profits in 2016 to 2017. The increasing liabilities has led to decreasing tendency of ROC in 2017. The cash from the investment activities has reduced due to Investment in Marketable & Equity Security and high exposure to divestitures. The high amount of the current ratio clear shows that the company has not efficiently utilised its assets to pay the liabilities. The same is applicable for quick ratio as well(Hidayat and Meiranto 2014).
