4. A Comparison of The Companies By Area:
1. Liquidity: Aoer comparing the three companies, we can conclude that Panera has the best liquidity ra1os,
then Starbucks and the last is Dunkin Donuts. The the reason that Starbucks is does not have a high liquidity is because of their expanding and using cash for growth. 2. Ac7vity:
Based on all the three companies ac1vi1es, it seems that Panera has a good ability to get new chances as long as they are working on the franchise ideas to expand their business. Comparing to Starbucks, which assembles its account receivables twice monthly and its compe1tors collect them every month. 3. Profitability:
Comparing the profitability to these three company, we see that Starbucks has beker profitability than Panera and Dunkin donuts that’s because Panera does not distribute dividends and there profitability is lower than Starbucks. Also, Dunkin Donuts has lower profitability ra1o even though they distribute dividends but on the other hand, they are not fully u1lizing its assets. 4. Coverage:
Aoer comparing all companies coverage ra1os, it seems that all companies can meet their financial obliga1ons without having financial distress. Even though Starbucks doesn't have free cash flow, it fulfilled its obliga1ons toward lenders. Although Panera keeps a high book value among the other companies and a high TIE, it s1ll does not pay dividends which might discourage investors from inves1ng in it.

5. Investment Recommendation:
Recommenda7ons: Based on the given ra1o analysis, we will prefer to invest our money in Starbuck’s Corpora1on for the following reasons: • It possesses a high market share. • Although the company doesn’t have the best current cash debt coverage ra1o yet Its
liquidity ra1os are sa1sfactory. • The ac1vi1es ra1os are also improving each year. • It has the highest return on asset and price earnings ra1o. • Panera Bread has the highest earning per share, book value per share and free cash
flows but its payout ra1o is zero for 2 years while the payout ra1o of Starbuck’s Corpora1on is very good.
• Its free cash flows are nega1ve this year because in the previous year it paid a huge amount of dividend to its shareholders. The company possesses a great poten1al for improvement in the future.
• The company has a low debt to asset ra1o which means low risk. • The profitability ra1os are also favorable for investors.
