Speaking: which company has the best results? Which has the worst?
參考答案
The company with the best results is C. Company B made steady progress only. Companies A and D both had disappointing years.
For D, trading profit fell by 7%; however, as the company was able to spend ￡4.8 on an acquisition, we assume profits were still reasonable. On the other hand, A made losses that were only almost balanced by gains from cost savings. Therefore, A seems to have the worst results.

Ramsden Breweries and Bute Chemicals: investment potential.
Introduction
This report aims to assess which company, either Ramsden Breweries or Bute Chemicals, this company should invest in.
Ramsden
The company had mixed results last year, although turnover increased by approximately 25%, net profit rose by less than 4%, however, restructuring may be to eliminate these inefficiencies and expected growth in the drinks industry suggests opportunities for increased profits.
Bute
Results were disappointed, with turnover and profit both falling slightly. Nevertheless, the company managed to increase its dividend to shareholders. The rumoured merger seems likely to push up the share price considerably.
Conclusion
Despite the merger rumours, any investment in Bute Chemicals would involve a risk. Ramsden, on the other hand, despite its present inefficiency, is still profitable and has definite potentials for further growth.
Recommendation
We would recommend investment in Ramsden Breweries.
