RATIO ANALYSIS

the current ratio generally remained above 1 for all years, indicating that the company
had enough current assets to cover its short-term liabilities. The fluctuations in the ratio
may be attributed to changes in the company's current assets and liabilities during these

Return On Investment
In 2022, the return on investment (ROI) ratio is approximately 1.1636%, which means
that the company earned about 1.1636 cents in profit for every dollar invested in its
total assets during the year. This indicates a relatively low return on investment,
suggesting that the company's assets were not generating high levels of profit compared
to their total value. While the ROI ratio shows a positive return, it's relatively modest.
