To measure investments, one can calculate the investment to total assets ratio,
which is the total investments divided by total assets. In the case of Bata India
Ltd, the investments in 2016-17 were 49.51 million Rs. and the total assets
employed were 12220.85 million Rs, thus the investment to total assets ratio
for 2016-17 would be 0.004 or 0.4%.
2. To measure performance, one can calculate financial ratios such as the return
on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). ROA is calculated by dividing net
income by total assets, and ROE is calculated by dividing net income by
shareholders' equity. For Bata India Ltd, the ROA for 2016-17 was 0.13 or 13%
and the ROE was 0.13 or 13%.
3. To measure financial status, one can calculate financial ratios such as the debt
to equity ratio, which is calculated by dividing total liabilities by total
shareholders' equity. For Bata India Ltd, the debt to equity ratio for 2016-17
was 0.08 or 8%.
4. To prepare an income statement, one can list revenues, costs, and expenses,
and calculate the net income. For Bata India Ltd, the income statement for
2016-17 is as follows:

Income Statement 2016-17 (in Million Rs.) Revenue: 24753.15 Cost of goods sold:
20981.14 Gross profit: 3762.01 Operating expenses: 2145.06 Net income: 1616.95

For the balance sheet, one can list assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity as of the
end of the year. For Bata India Ltd, the balance sheet for 2016-17 is as follows:

Balance Sheet 2016-17 (in Million Rs.) Assets: Current assets: 7424.54 Non-current
assets: 4798.31 Total assets: 12220.85

Liabilities: Current liabilities: 3754.5 Non-current liabilities: 674.21 Total liabilities:

4428.71

Shareholders' equity: Share capital: 642.64 Reserves: 11578.21 Total shareholders'

equity: 12220.85

Finally, to calculate the percentage change in ratios, one can find the difference
between the ratio in 2016-17 and the ratio in 2017-18 and divide that by the ratio in
2016-17. The overall performance of the company can be determined by analyzing
changes in various ratios over time and comparing them to industry averages.
