1)Current Ratio
$21,120+$20,481+$16849+$2,349/$35,490+$25,181
=1.00 to 1

This is good that the company is pretty much a 1 to 1 ratio because that means they are usually meeting their goals and they are not falling behind.

2) Acid-test Ratio
$21,120+$20,481+$16,849/$35,490+$25,181
=.96 to 1

Even though this number is below one that is okay because it is very close to 1 and other ratios will reflect off of this number and it also shows that the company is doing very well.

3)Debt-to-Equity Ratio
($35,490+$25,181+$53,463)/($27,416+$92,284)
=.95 to 1

This is not a very good number because it is saying that the company does not have a very good chance for expanding. As the years have gone on the number has gotten bigger. Apple needs to work to get this number down.

4)Times Interest Earned
($93,626-$22,396)/$1,285
=55.4 times

This is good for the company to have a large number because if it is higher it says shows there is not as much debt. Which a company does not want.

5)Profit margin Ratio
$53,395/$233,715
=22.8%

This number is showing the company’s ability to earn net income, because if they type of company apple is it requires a higher number.

6)Total Asset turnover
$233,715/($290,479+$231,839)/2
=.89 times

This is the company’s ability to earn sales so if the number is higher it means the company is doing a good job earning sales.

7)Return on Total Assets
$53,394/($290,479+$231,839)/2
=20.4%
