Write the given assignment.

Given is Ratio analysis worksheet.

NOTE: Retail Clothing Store, like most retailers, has a fiscal year end in late January/early February. The Biz Miner data uses calendar years. You will have to assume that the closest full year is the appropriate match between the two sets of data.

ALSO: Include the formulas you use to calculate ratios, don't just provide a number. If you provide the wrong number, I cannot figure out what you are doing wrong so as to advise you how to correct your errors.

AND FINALLY: Pay attention to how Biz Miner calculates its data. For example, in calculating inventory turnover, does Biz Miner average the inventory at the beginning and end of the year or just use the end of the year data? You must use the same methodology when calculating ratios for Retail Clothing Store.
