Accounting Ratios Posters

I have created these posters to help current year 11 students to understand what each of the 7 accounting ratios mean and how to interpret them. This relates to the WJEC Applied Business Studies curriculum and includes the following ratios: 1) Gross Profit % 2) Net Profit % 3) Acid Test Ratio 4) Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) 5) Current Ratio 6) Debtors' Collection Period 7) Creditors' Payment Period Incuded is an example of what a 2 mark answer would look like for each ratio as well as how to interpret what the figures show. I haven't included the formula as these are provided in the exam. If you download please give feedback on how to improve them. Thanks for looking.

Using filters in a database

This helpsheet will allow pupils to work in pairs to help each other to use filters. As I can't upload a database I have included a screenshot of what the table should have in it.
