C) If a firm's fixed assets turnover ratio is significantly lower than its industry average, this could indicate that it uses its fixed assets very efficiently or is operating at over capacity and should probably add fixed assets.
D) The more conservative a firm's management is, the higher its debt ratio is likely to be.
