The study revealed that out of the Financial ratios adopted for Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited, Three ratios gave possible reasons for the various problem of the company, ranging from (inflation, stringent credit squeeze, inefficient use of fixed assets, slow moving incentives, under trading and operating losses), while others ratios indicated various problems and their effect on various aspects of the company's productivity levels. Six of the twenty ratios namely; Fixed asset turnover, Sales to working capital, Gross profit margin, Net profit margin, Stock Turnover, Interest cover ratios are good evaluators of the company's performance. While others indicated various problems and their effect on various aspects of the company's productivity levels. The result of the Multiple Discriminant Analysis of the Altman Model also indicated financial difficulties. Among this are; excessive fixed assets, slow-moving incentives, hyper-cost push inflation, stringent credit squeeze etc. Important recommendations were made for the improvement and management of the company business risk. The resulting ratios will assist the company's creditors and investors to identify and quantify risks, as well as quantifying the management's ability to handle such risks.en_US
