Financial ratios can provide useful indicators of a firm's performance and financial situation by analyzing information from financial statements. Ratios can be used to analyze trends over time and compare a firm to others. In some cases, ratio analysis can even predict future bankruptcy. There are various types of ratios that provide different insights, such as liquidity ratios regarding short-term assets/liabilities, asset turnover ratios about efficiency, and financial leverage ratios concerning use of debt. Limitations include that ratios can be manipulated and firms have different accounting policies, risk profiles, and industries/seasons that affect comparability.

Year Ended 2013 2012
Net Sales:
North America $ 44,517 $ 34,813
International $29,935$26,280
Consolidated $74,452 $61,093

International 40% 43%
Consolidated 100% 100%
Perform a complete financial analysis of your chosen company's financial statements—horizontal, vertical (Percentage of Sales and Common-Size), and changes in ratios—for the last two years.
The current ratios and quick ratios of Amazon for the periods 2013 and 2012 show moderate liquidity position. Current ratio has decreased from 1.12 in 2012 to 1.07 in 2013. Also liquidity ratio has decreased from 0.80 in 2012 to 0.75 in 2013. Focussing on the asset management ratios, the inventory turnover ratio , days sales outstanding ratio, fixed asset turnover ratio, total asset turnover ratios are all very much satisfactory.

A microgrid is a small-scale power supply network designed to provide power for a small community. It enables local power generation and supply for local loads. Microgrids connect local generating units like solar panels and batteries to the main utility grid, preventing outages and allowing excess power to be sold back. DC microgrids are simpler and more efficient than AC grids, and are well-suited for renewable energy sources, electronic loads, and energy storage.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

11. C. DEBT RATIOS
1. Debt to equity ratio
The debt-to-capital ratio is a measurement of a
company's financial leverage. The debt-to-
capital ratio is calculated by taking the
company's interest-bearing debt, both short-

total capital. Total capital is all interest-
bearing debt plus shareholders' equity, which
may include items such as common stock,
preferred stock, and minority interest.

13. D. TURN OVER RATIO
1. Fixed assets turnover ratio
The turnover ratio is derived from a
mathematical calculation, where the cost of
goods sold is divided by the average inventory
for the same period. A higher ratio is more
desirable than a low one as a high ratio tends
to point to strong sales

4.992626 5.011783
14. 2. Inventory turn over ratio
The inventory turnover ratio is calculated by
dividing the cost of goods by average inventory for
the same period. A higher ratio tends to point to
strong sales and a lower one to weak sales.
2018 2019
135.0569
15. 3. Receivable turn over ratio
The receivables turnover ratio measures the
efficiency with which a company is able to collect
on its receivables or the credit it extends to
customers. The ratio also measures how many times
a company's receivables are converted to cash in a
certain period of time.
2018 2019
101.8628 78.72099
16. 4. Payable turnover ratio
The accounts payable turnover ratio measures how
quickly a business makes payments to creditors and
suppliers that extend lines of credit. Accounting
professionals quantify the ratio by calculating the
average number of times the company pays its AP
balances during a specified time period.
2018 2019
23.021 19.62603
17. 5. Assets turn over ratio
The asset turnover ratio measures the efficiency of
a company's assets in generating revenue or sales. It
compares the dollar amount of sales (revenues) to
its total assets as an annualized percentage. Thus,
to calculate the asset turnover ratio, divide net
sales or revenue by the average total assets

18. INVENTORY DAYS
Days in inventory is the average time a company
keeps its inventory before it is sold. To calculate
days in inventory, divide the cost of average
inventory by the cost of goods sold, and multiply
that by the period length, which is usually 365 days
