Hi I want someone to do the activity ratio based on a hospital report. I provide sample, you can look at it to see what I am looking for.

In order to understand Newman Regional Health’s financial performance, we reviewed the institutions financial statement and conducted a financial ratio analysis. The quantitative data analyzed was obtained from Newman Regional Health’s financial statements ending December 31 for the years 2017 and 2016. Each calculation is interpreted by comparing the calculated ratio to the industry benchmark (which indicates the organization’s desired level of performance). Since Newman Regional Health contains 25 beds, the selected benchmark is for U.S. hospitals with a bed size ranging from 1 to 99 beds. Below is our summary of the organization and its performance (current and future).
