The measure shows investors how many times per period the company pays
its average payable amount. The fact that the ratio increases over the period
shows that the company needs less time to pay over the inputs, which can be
related to a increase in prices of outputs, decrease in input costs or a
combination of both.

problem in optimum utilization of its working capital to support

A stable and a higher fixed asset turnover ratio shows that the

shown an increase is optimum utilization of fixed asset and has

position. The higher the debt ratio is, the higher the indebtedness of the
company. The debt ratio is one of the simplest and most practical ways to
analyze the indebtedness of the company and its capital structure. This
measurement, however, is too broad in scope and gives equal weight to
operational and debt liabilities. Therefore, in this case only the debt is taken into
consideration.

control over its total assets. A bigger total debt to asset ratio
reflects a higher amount of risk, ideally a ratio 0.5 to 0.75 is
considered excellent mix of financing the asset and in case of
shell it has constantly remained around 0.5 but in the year 2012
it has been recorded to be around 47% which indicates that
company is now more dependent on internal source of
financing.
total debt
total sharoholder ' equity
It is the most commonly used indicator for the connection between external and
internal financing. The debt-to-equity ratio compares total liabilities to total
shareholders' equity. It indicates what proportion of equity and debt the company
is using to finance its assets.
Here again, as in the case of debt-to-assets ratio, not total liabilities are used
(meaning all current liabilities and the long-term debt), but only total debt as a
sum of short- and long-term debt. This is done in order not to include operational
liabilities in the ratio. Unlike debt liabilities, there are no fixed payments of
principal or interest attached to the operational.

Credit Ratings
The credit rating of the company may be used besides the previous ratios,
as a further way to evaluate the companys riskiness. Credit ratings are
formal risk evaluations by credit-rating agencies - Moody's, Standard &
Poor's of a company's ability to repay principal and interest on debt
obligations, principally bonds and commercial paper. Investors should be
glad to see high-quality rankings on the debt of companies they are
considering as investment opportunities and be wary of the reverse.

The ratings on Royal Dutch Shell PLC (Shell) reflect Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services' assessments of the company's business
risk profile as "excellent" and its financial risk profile as
"minimal." As one of the world's three largest listed integrated
oil companies, Shell's "excellent" business profile is based on
the view of its large, globally diversified, and growing
exploration, production, and liquefied natural gas (LNG)
operations, as well as significant global downstream operations.
Weaknesses include Shell's exposure to highly volatile and
cyclical commodity sectors, especially oil refining, resulting in
volatile free cash flow; inherent challenges such as reserve
replacement and maintaining production; and significant
volatility in the company's pension schemes.
Shell's financial risk profile is "minimal," mostly due to the
company's conservative debt leverage policies compared with
peers. That said, total reported debt is unlikely to decline
significantly in our view.

The company has a number of strengths. Firstly, Royal Dutch Shell Plc is a
leading company globally in the Oil and Gas industry with global presence
in many countries. Consequently, the company derives its strength in this
global image in the industry. Secondly, the company has recorded growing
financial performance since the 2008/2009 economic downturn. It
therefore has a strong capital base for competing in the competitive
industry. Thirdly, the company has established strong brands recognized
globally like Shell V-Power and the Shell FuelSave. Finally, the company
has strong exploration and technological capability as an internal strength
coupled with a diversified portfolio of products in the upstream and
downstream segments of the company (Shell Plc, 2012).
The size and scale of the global operations of company may be a
weakness due to the difficulties of the company to control quality and
standards of its products since the operational conditions of different
refinery sites differ. This also impacts negatively on the administrative
efficiency and effectiveness of the companys management. Exposure to
different regulatory regimes through the global presence of the company

Conclusion
From the study we can see that shell being the top rated company in the
fortune 500 exhibits the financial position accordingly. The above trend
and ratio analysis gives a clear picture of a sound organization be it in
terms of short term or long term solvency as the study shows that its
solvency is very much dependable and has remained consistent also the
activity ratio here shows that RDSA has a very effective policy on its
utilization of resources to generate a huge revenue through sales. The
company's leverage ratio shows that the shell is maintaining a steady rate
of dividend and hence giving the investors, who are looking for a short
term profit making investment, a leverage to depend on. Company's
shareholders ratio like EPs shows a promising picture as its EPS is way
higher than the industry standard but it has not been that constant and
shows a high volatility and hence giving a warning signs to those short
term investors who are expecting extraordinary gains out of their
investment.
