7. INTERPRETATION
 Current ratio
ub=1.26
rk=1.15
As from current ratio we can see that ub has 1.26 Rs for each liability of 1 Rs where
as rk has 1.15 Rs so ub is in better condition to pay its liability then rk.
 Quick ratio
ub=1.05
rk=2.31
As we can see that rk has better quick ratio so rk is in better liquidity condition then
ub. Rk can more easily pay its current liability then ub.

8.  Debtors turnover ratio
ub=4.88
rk=2.97
Ub has debtors turnover ratio higher then rk which shows ub has better
capability to fastly recover its debt and generate capital.
 Inventory turnover
ub=4.88
rk=15.8
As we can see that rk has higher inventory turnover ratio which shows that rk
has faster sale of product then ub.

9. Solvency ratio
Solvency ratios show a company's ability to make payments and pay
off its long-term obligations to creditors, bondholders, and banks.
Better solvency ratios indicate a more creditworthy and financially
sound company in the long-term.
Some basic ratios are

Debt equity ratio 0.9 1.07
Long term debt equity ratio 0.4 0.55
Total debt to owners fund 0.9 1.07
Interest coverage ratio 1.97 2.25

12. INTERPRETATION
 Debt equity ratio
ub=0.38
rk=0.9
As we can se that rk has higher debt equity ratio so it shows that there is low
security margin for creditors then ub. So in this case ub is in better condition
to pay the short term debts debt.
 Long term Debt equity ratio
ub= 0.28
rk=0.4
As we can see that ub has lessor long term debt equity ratio so ub has better
capability to pay the long term debts then rk.

13.  Total debt to owners fund
ub=0.38
rk=0.9
As we can see that total debt to owners fund ratio of ub is lesser so we can
say that ub has less capital then rk in form of long-term debt so ub is in better
condition.
 Interest coverage ratio
ub=6.2
rk=1.97
As we can see that ub has higher interest coverage ratio so ub has better
capability to pay the contractual interests then rk.

14. Profitability ratios compare income statement accounts and
categories to show a company's ability to generate profits from its
operations. Profitability ratios focus on a company's return on
investment in inventory and other assets. These ratios basically show
how well companies can achieve profits from their operations.
Some of these ratios are
 Gross profit margin
 Operating profit margin
 Net profit margin
 Return on asset including revaluation
 Return on capital employed
Profitability ratios

Net profit margin 5.54 5.34
Return on asset including revaluation 70 61.7
Return on capital employed 17.7 15.2

Net profit margin 4.54 4.9
Return on asset including revaluation 62.33 58.71
Return on capital employed 11.35 11.94

17.  Gross profit margin
ub=8.83
rk=8.87
As we can se that both the companies has almost equal gross profit margin
but rk has slightly more gross profit margin so we can say that rk is earning
more profit after paying cost of its goods .
 Net profit margin
ub=5.54
rk=4.54
Ub has more net profit margin which shows ub is earning more profit then rk
after deduction of its all expenses so over all ub is in better condition then in
case of profit earning then rk.
INTERPRETATION

18.  Return on asset including revaluation
ub=70
rk=62.33
As ub has higher return on asset so we can conclude that ub is more capable
then rk to generate more profit form available assets.
 Return on capital employed
ub=17.7
rk=11.35
As ub has higher return on capital employed so we can conclude that ub has
higher return on investment then rk.

reasons:-
