After reading and doing research, and seeing the companies make more and more money each year, it’s a common fact that the world is only using electronics more and more.

Financial Analysis and Solvency Ratios A debt ratio bigger than 1 means Best Buy finances the company rather than the stockholders By getting rid of a small amount of the debt, the solvency ratio got smaller, even though it was not by much. Most of the people best buy sells to are average common day people, by taking over other stores and getting more locations the store is sure to grow.
