The three companies I have chosen are Wendy's (WEN), Burger king (BKW), and McDonalds (MCD). They are three of the most prominent fast food franchises in North America (when it comes to sandwich and fries). I presume McDonald to be the best investment because it seem to be a larger company, with consumers and franchises worldwide.

The current ratios (FY) for Wendys is 2.6, Burger King is 3.1, and Mcdonalds is 1.6. A higher current ratio means that a company is more likely to be able to pay its obligations at the “current” point in time (current meaning the timeframe the ratio is calculating).

This number will send up a red flag to an investor or financing company as to their ability to sell their products. CanGo is a new company though and this number may just be low simply because they are so new. Generally a low inventory turnover ratio indicated one of two things, either they are having troubles selling their products which would also be notable in other ratios or they are keeping way to much stock on hand. Keeping too much stock on hand means paying un-needed storage and warehousing costs.…

    Nordstrom's Inventory Turnover Ratio Analysis

    Over the past five fiscal years, while Nordstrom has reflected a decline in their Inventory Turnover ratio, which reflects a company’s ability on average to sell and replace their inventory during the year, their ratio has remained well about the industry average of 3.91, with their inventory turnover ratio for the 2015 fiscal year being approximately 4.71. Thus, Nordstrom has been able to sell and replenish their goods frequently, which is a good thing because in the fashion industry, some styles can become obsolete very quickly, so if a company is able to have a high rate of inventory turnover, they can ensure that at the end of the fiscal year, they are not left with a high amount of inventory that they are unable to get rid of to make a profit. On the other hand, over the past five fiscal years, Macy’s has recorded inventory turnover ratios that are well below the industry average with their ratio for the 2015 fiscal year being the lowest at 2.99. This indicates that during the year, Macy’s is able…
