Compute ratios by industry
In this exercise, you will assess how the current ratio and debt-to-equity ratio of Tech and FMCG companies are different on average and over time.
An industry's ratio, on average gives us an overall idea of the industry's financial condition. On the other hand, an industry's ratio over timehelps us understand its trends: is the ratio relatively stable or fluctuating over time? Is it improving or worsening?
