QUESTION 1 (MODULE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RATIO ANALYSIS): A company considers large investment (building a new factory), for which it needs new funds. The company's managers consider two financing options: borrowing a loan from a bank or issuing new shareholder's equity. The funds needed amount to 5.000 EUR. On the ground of the following accounting information about the company answer the following questions: 1) Can the company afford more borrowing (or should it rather issue new equity), in light of its current financial risks? To answer this question, compute and interpret the following three ratios: total indebtedness ratio, current liquidity ratio, EBITDA-to-total-liabilities ratio). 2) Did any of these three ratios approach or breach its safety threshold in 2014-2016?
