Unit 4 – Analysis and Interpretation
Ratios are useful tools
We calculate ratios by using the accounts to help with analysing relationships and changes
within a business. These ratios help to analyse year on year growth or decline, such as sales
revenue or profit. We can also use the calculations from the ratios in order to compare
similar businesses with each other and asses how they’re doing.
