Which ratios will each of these groups be interested in?

On this page you should complete the table below (you can do this by printing it out). In the left hand column there is a list of interest groups one by one. Your job is to complete the right hand column by giving two or three examples of ratios they might be interested in.

We have given an example of each to help you get started.

When you've filled in the gaps you will appreciate that it gives us some ideas about the ratios that each of the users we have identified would be interested in looking at.

Interest Group	Ratios to watch
Investors	Return on Capital Employed
Lenders	Gearing ratios
Managers	Profitability ratios
Employees	Return on Capital Employed
Suppliers and other trade creditors	Liquidity
Customers	Profitability
Governments and their agencies	Profitability
Local Community	This could be a long and interesting list
Financial analysts	Possibly all ratios
Environmental groups	Expenditure on anti-pollution measures
Researchers	Depends on the nature of their study
