3. SEE CORRECT ANSWER
Investors and creditors analyze this set of statements to base their financial decisions on. They also look at extra financial reports like financial statement notes and the management discussion.
The income statement and balance sheet accounts are compared with each other to see how efficiently a company is using its assets to generate profits. Company debt and equity levels can also be examined to determine whether companies are properly funding operations and expansions.
Most investors and creditors use financial ratios to analyze these comparisons. There is almost no limit to the amount of ratios that can be combined for analysis purposes.
These ratios by themselves rarely give outside users and decision makers enough information to judge whether or not a company is fiscally sound, however. Investors and creditors generally compare different companies' ratios to develop an industry standard or benchmark to judge company performance.
