 Company should try to increase its inventory turn over ratio by reducing the stock holding period.
 Company's net profit has come down so in order to improve its net profit it should try to control on other expenses &
also try to reduce its other financial liabilities on which interest cost is high.
 It should rather increase its share capital by issuing shares.
 Return on capital employed has come down. Hence the company should control on its other expenses & should try to
efficiently use its capital employed.
