- a) BMW has generally seen consistent growth in its ROE and ROIs over the past decade, with a slight dip in 2020 due to the pandemic. However, its EPS has been volatile, with a sharp drop in 2015 and a steady increase since then. Its P/E ratio has generally been low, indicating that the stock has been undervalued. The company has consistently paid out dividends, with a higher yield in the past few years. Its debt-to-equity ratio has been increasing in recent years, indicating that BMW has been taking on more debt. Its current and quick ratios have remained stable, indicating that the company is able to meet its short-term liabilities. The gross margin ratio has been consistently high, indicating that BMW has been effectively managing its costs. Lastly, NPS data was not available in the annual reports.
b) BMW has done a good job making money for its owners in the past decade, especially considering the challenges it's faced, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Its profits have been growing steadily, and it has been paying out dividends to shareholders. However, it also has been taking on more debt, which could be a concern. Overall, BMW seems to be in a good financial position, but it's important to keep an eye on its debt levels.

BMW is a German luxury car manufacturer that was founded in 1916. It has a strong reputation for producing high-quality vehicles with innovative technology. In recent years, BMW has been investing heavily in electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as autonomous driving technology. The automotive industry has been facing various challenges, including supply chain disruptions, changes in consumer preferences, and regulatory pressures. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the industry, leading to production shutdowns and reduced demand for cars. However, the industry is expected to recover in the coming years as vaccination rates increase and economies reopen.

Based on the financial data and BMW's reputation as a luxury car manufacturer, I would consider investing in BMW. Its consistent growth in ROE and ROI, as well as its high gross margin ratio, indicate that it has been effectively managing its costs and generating profits for its owners. Additionally, BMW's focus on electric and hybrid vehicles and autonomous driving technology could position it well for the future of the automotive industry. However, its increasing debt-to-equity ratio is something to keep an eye on, as it could potentially limit its financial flexibility in the future. Ultimately, whether or not to invest in BMW depends on an individual's investment goals and risk tolerance.
