(2): For this purpose Natalie will use the balance sheet. She will use the balance sheet to determine the current ratio of Biscuits. Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities. The higher the current ratio of Biscuits the higher will be its ability to meet its current liabilities.
(3): To determine if Biscuits can survive for a long period of time Natalie will make use of balance sheet. The ratio that will be used here will be the solvency ratio (debt to total assets ratio). The lower the debt asset ratio the higher will be survival chances and solvency of Biscuits.
(4): For profitability Natalie will look at Biscuit’s income statement. She can evaluate its profitability through margin ratios like net income margin, EBITDA margin, EBIT margin etc. She can also look out for EPS (i.e. earnings per share). EPS = net income for the year/no. of average shares outstanding.

To determine if Biscuit can meet its interest payments Natalie can make use of ‘times interest earned’ ratio. Times interest earned = earnings before interest and taxes/interest expenses.
Debt paying ability will be determined through equity ratio debt asset ratio. Equity ratio = total equity/total assets and debt asset ratio = total debt/total assets.
(6): This can be determined from the cash flow statement. If dividends are paid they will be shown under the ‘cash flow from financing activities’ section of the cash flow statement.
(7): Natalie should also be aware of the management of Biscuits, its internal control and corporate governance policies. She should also be aware of efficiency ratio like accounts payable turnover ratio for Biscuits. This ratio indicates the speed with which a company pays its suppliers and vendors.
