Pick a competitor of the firm and obtain its latest annual report. Compare the two companies financial statements. If you were making a decision to invest in one of the two companies, which company would you choose? Why?

I have already compute the ratios needed,but I don't know how to compare.So please help me compare those number of the two companies,this is a written project so deeply analyze please,thank you

My TA said that,at our level we do not have to decide which company to invest,we just have to compare to have an overview of the financial picture of two companies only.We can compare the ratios of two companies(fixed asset turnover,A/R turnover,...), the cashflow,profit margin,pay dividend,... which company operates more effectively.This is just the hint the TA gave me
