ABSTRACT·
This research work was designed for the study "Measuring Cooperate performance of manufacturing firms: using Accounting ratio (survey of selected firms). The research viewed some objectives for the study, which includes; determining solvency of the selected manufacturing firms: to determine the profitability of selected firms; to determine the return on assets of selected firms and to determine if the firms were growing or declining. In other to actualize those objectives, hypotheses were formulated; data were sourced, extensive literature reviewed on text books and materials on the area of the study. The researcher calculated ratios which were analysed with simple percentage. Correlation was used to test hypotheses formulated. After a careful statistical analyses and research, the researcher concluded that Accounting ratio is a good tool for measuring cooperate performance and that any firm which doesn't measure cannot be managed and is prone to failure.
