Answer 1

Current ratio: current assets÷current liabilities =755.12÷482.63 = 1.5646

Net working capital: current assets - current liabilities

: 755.12 - 482.63 = 272.49

Debt ratio: total liabilities÷ total assets

729.98÷1242.89 = 0.59 or 59% approximately

Equity ratio: total equity÷ total assets

512.91÷1242.89 = 0.41 or 41% approximately.

In given question we can't find accounts payable and accounts receivable ratio without sales figure.

And eps and profit ralated ratios we can't find without net income or profit available in current year.

Even though retained earnings are accumulated profits + current profits ,we can't interpret separately...

Therefore EPS, Net profit ratio, current ratio, mostly important ratios to financial position of the company.
