A) The fixed asset to liability ratio higher is better. The ratio has fallen as compare to last year because of we have purchased the new fixed assets but at the same time we have acquired the loan also.
B) liabilty to equity ratio lower the better, because liabilites has to be paid compulsorly and higher the liability may create liquidity problem.
