39. In class activity: What Are Our Ratios Trying to Tell Us?
The accountant for your company just ran into theoffice and told you that your gross profit margin
increased while your net profit margin decreased.
She also reported that while our debt-to-equity
ratio increased, our interest coverage ratio
decreased.
She was puzzled by the apparent inconsistencies.
Help her out by providing possible explanations for
the behavior of these ratios.
