REQUIREMENTS:

Based on your analysis of relevant information relating to Super Retail Group, you are required to prepare a structured report (see recommended structure detailed below) with a focus on the profitability, operating efficiency, liquidity, gearing and cash flows of the company. The profitability, efficiency, liquidity and gearing of the company should be analysed using the required ratios. Firms are accountable for generating profit with the assets employed. In addition, the firm must pay its debts as and when they fall due. An analysis of the Statement of Cash Flows is also required. Use the data from the financial statements in the annual report to calculate the ratios. 

Your report should cover a 3-year period for the years ending June 30 2016 to 2018, and should be sufficiently broad in scope to demonstrate your understanding of findings following the analysis.

you also need the year 2015 because you are required to calculate the average figure from the end of previous year so the 30 of june 2015 to plus the end of the current year 30/6/2016 and devide that by two.

Other information in relation to ratios is you need to look at the companies and see whats happening in the industries, what’s the expected average for the ratio for that particular industry 

Then you can compare that to the ratio looking at the super cheap.

So because figures on their own don’t mean anything , you have to compare it to something and see weather its better than what’s expected. Is it over the last 3 years improving or getting worse.
