In the third lesson we focus on gearing, again with broken downe examples and the interpretation of the figures, finally in the last lesson we focus on efficiency ratios of payables days, receivables days and inventory turnover. Lots of calculation practice in this bundle, two companies, JD and Royal Mail where students have the opportunity to carry out ratio analysis, research tasks, true or false questions, debates, kahoot quizzes and box plenaries included.
