Fargo Company Ball Company
a. Current ratio
b. Acid-test ratio
c. Accounts (and notes) receivable turnover
d. Inventory turnover
e. Days’ sales in inventory
f. Days' sales uncollected
Short-term credit risk analysis: Fargo and Ball have nearly equal current
ratios and equal acid-test ratios. However, Ball both turns its merchandise
and collects its accounts receivable much more rapidly than Fargo. On this
basis, Ball probably is the better short-term credit risk.

Fargo Company Ball Company
a. Profit margin ratio
b. Total asset turnover
c. Return on total assets
d. Return on common stockholders' equity
e. Price-earnings ratio
f. Dividend yield
Investment analysis: Ball’s profit margin, total asset turnover, return on total
assets, and return on common stockholders' equity are all higher than
Fargo's. Also, Ball has a lower price-earnings ratio, while paying the same
dividend. These factors indicate that Ball stock is likely the better investment.
