You will need to research the type of ratios that make up the classifications in the question (profitability, liquidity, efficiency, gearing and shareholder return). Your answer should be structured by showing the name of the ratio in one column (ROCE for example) then a column for 2008 and a column for 2007 and both of these columns will contain the percentages or ratios. REMEMBER – you must show the calculation and you should show 16 ratios. NOTE: do not forget to "comment on the most important changes between 2008 and 2007" Problem 7.2 Tamalan plc - you will determine 16 ratios (if you don't have 16 then you left something out) that demonstrates changes in profitability, liquidity, efficiency, gearing and shareholder return. Research the text because these ratios are defined. For example: Gross profit/Sales xx.x/xx.x = xx.x% xx.x/xx.x = xx.x% Note - for each year use a column format for both years.
