1. From 2013 to 2017, the quick ratio improved, indicating that the company had a good
ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its liquid assets.
2. However, from 2018 to 2021, the quick ratio declined, suggesting that the company's
short-term liquidity weakened, possibly due to an increase in inventory relative to
current assets.
3. In 2019 and 2020, the quick ratio dropped significantly, falling below 1.0. This indicates a
potential risk in meeting short-term obligations without relying on the sale of inventory
or obtaining additional financing.
4. In 2022, there was a slight improvement in the quick ratio, but it remained below 1.0,
which might still indicate a liquidity challenge.

The declining trend in the quick ratio from 2018 to 2021 raises concerns about the
company's ability to meet its short-term obligations without additional financing.
Further analysis of the company's financial statements and the reasons for these
changes would be necessary to understand the full financial health and situation of the
company.
1. The quick ratio increased between 2013 and 2017, demonstrating the company's strong capacity to
cover its short-term commitments with its liquid assets.

2. Nevertheless, the quick ratio decreased from 2018 to 2021, indicating that the company's short-term
liquidity diminished, presumably as a result of an increase in inventories compared to current assets.

3. The quick ratio decreased noticeably in 2019 and 2020, dropping below 1.0. This suggests a possible
risk in fulfilling urgent obligations without relying on the sale of merchandise or securing additional
funding.

4. The quick ratio showed a modest improvement in 2022, but it remained below 1.0, suggesting that
there may still be a liquidity issue.

Concerns are raised about the company's capacity to meet its short-term obligations without additional
funding due to the quick ratio's deteriorating trajectory from 2018 to 2021. To fully comprehend the
company's financial status and health, additional research of the company's financial statements and the
factors that led to these changes would be required.

It appears that you have provided only the data for the company's current assets (C.A) and current
liabilities (C.L) for the years 2013 to 2022. To determine the company's current situation, we need to
calculate the Quick Ratio (Q.R) for each year to assess its short-term liquidity. The Quick Ratio is
calculated as follows:

Quick Ratio (Q.R) = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Here are the Quick Ratios for the years you provided:

- 2013: 4,931 / 4,579 = 1.075

- 2014: 4,863 / 3,946 = 1.231

- 2015: 4,384 / 3,534 = 1.240

- 2016: 4,338 / 3,305 = 1.313

- 2017: 4,639 / 3,408 = 1.361

- 2018: 3,793 / 3,341 = 1.133

- 2019: 4,179 / 4,038 = 1.034

- 2020: 4,338 / 4,404 = 0.985

- 2021: 4,397 / 4,051 = 1.086


- 2022: 5,113 / 4,004 = 1.278

Based on the Quick Ratios:

1. The company had a strong quick ratio in the earlier years (2013-2017), indicating a healthy ability to
cover short-term liabilities with current assets.

2. The quick ratio declined in 2018 but remained above 1.0, suggesting a slightly decreased ability to
cover current liabilities with current assets.

3. In 2019, the quick ratio dropped to just above 1.0, and in 2020, it fell below 1.0. This suggests a
situation where the company might have difficulty covering its short-term liabilities without relying on
the sale of inventory or obtaining additional financing.

4. In 2021 and 2022, the quick ratio improved but remained relatively close to 1.0, indicating an
improved, though still somewhat precarious, short-term liquidity situation.

The company's current situation, as of 2022, suggests an improved but not entirely secure short-term
liquidity position. Further analysis and information about the reasons behind these changes would be
needed to fully understand the company's financial health.

To assess the company's current situation based on the provided data, we will analyze the Inventory
Turnover (ITO) and the number of days it takes to turn over inventory for each year.

Inventory Turnover (ITO) is calculated as:

ITO = Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) / Average Inventory

The number of days it takes to turn over inventory is calculated as:

Days/ITO = 365 days / ITO

Here are the ITO and days/ITO for the years you provided:
| Year | COGS | Inventory | ITO | Days/ITO |

|------|------|-----------|------|----------|

| 2013 | 7,219| 1,425 | 5.06 | 72 |

| 2014 | 7,168| 1,382 | 5.18 | 70 |

| 2015 | 6,635| 1,180 | 5.62 | 64 |

| 2016 | 6,072| 1,171 | 5.18 | 70 |

| 2017 | 6,174| 1,221 | 5.05 | 72 |

| 2018 | 6,313| 1,250 | 5.05 | 72 |

| 2019 | 6,368| 1,400 | 4.54 | 80 |

| 2020 | 6,454| 1,673 | 3.85 | 95 |

| 2021 | 7,046| 1,692 | 4.16 | 88 |

| 2022 | 7,719| 2,074 | 3.72 | 98 |

Based on this data:

1. The Inventory Turnover (ITO) generally decreased from 2013 to 2015, indicating that the company
took more time to sell its inventory during those years.

2. In 2016, ITO improved but remained somewhat consistent until 2019, where it started to decline
again.

3. From 2020 to 2022, there was a significant decrease in ITO, suggesting that it was taking longer to sell
inventory.

4. The number of days it took to turn over inventory (Days/ITO) increased from 2019 onwards, reaching
the highest point in 2022, indicating a trend of slower inventory turnover.

This data suggests that the company's inventory turnover has been declining in recent years, which
could be a sign of inefficiency in managing its inventory. The company may be carrying excess inventory,
which could tie up capital and impact its liquidity. Further analysis and information about the company's
operations are necessary to fully understand its current financial situation and make informed decisions.

To assess the company's current situation based on the provided data, we will analyze the Asset
Turnover (Asset TO) for each year. Asset Turnover is calculated as:

Asset Turnover (Asset TO) = Sales / Total Assets

Here are the Asset Turnover ratios for the years you provided:

| Year | Sales | Total Assets | Asset TO |

|------|-------|--------------|----------|

| 2013 | 17,420| 13,985 | 1.24 |

| 2014 | 17,277| 13,459 | 1.28 |

| 2015 | 16,034| 11,935 | 1.34 |

| 2016 | 15,195| 12,123 | 1.25 |

| 2017 | 15,454| 12,676 | 1.21 |

| 2018 | 15,544| 12,161 | 1.27 |

| 2019 | 15,693| 15,034 | 1.04 |

| 2020 | 16,471| 15,920 | 1.077 |

| 2021 | 17,421| 15,040 | 1.15 |

| 2022 | 17,967| 15,731 | 1.14 |

Based on this data:

1. Asset Turnover (Asset TO) measures how efficiently a company is using its assets to generate sales. A
higher ratio indicates more efficient asset utilization.

2. The Asset Turnover ratio fluctuated over the years but generally remained within a relatively stable
range between 1.04 and 1.34.
3. In 2015, there was a notable peak in Asset Turnover, indicating a period of highly efficient asset
utilization.

4. In 2019, the Asset Turnover dropped to 1.04, which suggests that the company may not have been as
efficient in utilizing its assets to generate sales during that year.

5. In recent years, from 2020 to 2022, the Asset Turnover has been relatively stable, around 1.077 to
1.15, indicating a moderate level of asset efficiency.

Overall, the company's Asset Turnover has shown some variability, but it has generally remained at a
moderate level, which suggests that it is reasonably efficient in utilizing its assets to generate sales.
However, for a comprehensive assessment of the company's current financial situation, additional
financial and operational information would be necessary.

To assess the company's current situation based on the provided data, we will analyze the Profit Margin
(P.M) for each year. Profit Margin is calculated as:

Profit Margin (P.M) = (Net Income / Sales) * 100

Here are the Profit Margin percentages for the years you provided:

| 2013 | 2,241 | 17,420 | 12.86% |

| 2014 | 2,180 | 17,277 | 12.61% |

| 2015 | 1,384 | 16,034 | 8.63% |

| 2016 | 2,441 | 15,195 | 16.04% |

| 2017 | 2,024 | 15,454 | 13.11% |

| 2018 | 2,400 | 15,544 | 15.45% |

| 2019 | 2,367 | 15,693 | 15.07% |

| 2020 | 2,695 | 16,471 | 16.36% |

| 2021 | 2,166 | 17,421 | 12.44% |


| 2022 | 1,785 | 17,967 | 9.94% |

Based on this data:

1. Profit Margin (P.M) measures the company's profitability as a percentage of sales. A higher P.M
indicates higher profitability.

2. The Profit Margin fluctuated over the years but generally remained within a range of approximately
8.63% to 16.36%.

3. The company's profitability was highest in 2020, with a Profit Margin of 16.36%.

4. In 2015, 2019, and 2022, the Profit Margin was lower, indicating lower profitability during those years.

5. In recent years (2021 and 2022), the Profit Margin has been around 12.44% to 9.94%, suggesting a
decline in profitability.

Overall, the company's profitability has shown some variability, with periods of higher and lower
profitability. In recent years, there has been a decline in profitability. To fully understand the company's
current financial situation, a comprehensive analysis of other financial and operational factors, as well as
the reasons for the fluctuations in profitability, would be necessary.
