how well the company is performing and what are the key areas which can be helpful in deciding
what steps shall be taken by the company to improve the performance. In this scenario the ratio

overall understanding of profitability an liquidity position of the company.
Part 1
The net profit ratio of NAB bank was 19.06% in the financial year 2017 and the same has been
19.36% in case of 2018. ANZ bank on the other hand is the bank which is gaining the net profit
at 21.16% and saw a decline in terms of the previous year, yet it is stronger than NAB bank. In
terms of the return on equity, ANZ bank again takes lead with a slight margin at 10.80% in the
year 2018, whereas NAB is at 10.49% (NAB, 2018). The profitability is mainly of the interest of
the investors and the shareholders and therefore from the point of view of the investor the right
bank to select would be ANZ bank as it is providing more returns to the shareholders (ANZ
bank, 2018).
