Also you need to realize that what your book/instructor may have presented as a set of profitability ratios may not be all the ones that could exist. You'd have to look up which ones have been covered. And some equations have slight variances depending on the source. Helps if you include the equation you've been given alone with any work.

If you're allowed to use any set you want, there's a whole slew of analysis ratios here:
