b) evalute each firms performance by comparing the firms withone another which firm or firms appear to be having problems? whatcorrective action would you suggest the poorer performing firmstake? finally what data would you want to have on hand whenconducting your data?

In millions

Firm A: sales=$20, net income after tax=3, totalassets=15, stock holders equity=10

Firm B: sales =10, net income after tax=.5, total assets=7.5,stock holders equity=5.0

Firm C: sales =15 net income after tax=2.25, total assets=15,stockholders equity=14

Firm D: sales=25, net income after tax=3, total assets=24,stockholders equity=10
