Data analysis has been done with employing of 5 main hypothesis and a minor hypothesis, and result from those shows that cash flow ratios and income state-ment and balance sheet ratios have their own specific information con-tents and they can not be substituted with each other. Presenting both of ratios together will help to understand the strength and weaknesses of a company.
