5. True
Market-Value ratios show the firm's value in the market which is a reflection of what investors and the markets think about the firm's growth prospects or current and future operational performance.
<h2>Second Part</h2>
The Weakness/ Limitations are;
a. A firm may operate in multiple industries.
Should this be the case, the company's performance in one sector cannot necessarily be compared to companies that operate in that single sector because it would not take into account the company's other sectors which may impact figures.
c. Different firms may use different accounting practices.
When different accounting practices are used, ratio analysis may not be a true indication of the situations in the company. For instance, a company using LIFO cannot be effectively compared to a company using FIFO when using ratio analysis.
