2. https://investors.delltechnologies.com is the financial website of Dell Technologies Inc.
3. Yes, definitely Dell is committed to sustainability or the responsibility that it has towards society. It is proved by the fact, that it uses 396.5 million pounds of sustainable materials in its products and packaging. It has also been identified as one of the world’s most ethical companies by the Ethisphere Institute for the tenth year.
4. The chief financial officer or CFO of Dell is Tom Sweet while the chief executive officer or the CEO is Michael Saul Dell.
5. Financial reporting abbreviation is millions.
6. The current ratio of Dell is 0.77 for the current financial year ending July 31

The current ratio indicates the ability of the firm to pay its short-term obligations. While a current ratio of more than 1 is an indication that the company has the financial resources to stay solvent in the short term, a current ratio of less than 1 is indicative of the fact that the company does not have the capital in hand to meet its obligations if all were to be due at once. Hence to conclude we can say that Dell has a current ratio which reflects a lack of ability to meet all its obligations at once.

7. The profit margin for Dell Technologies Inc. in the current financial year is 20.58% which is less in comparison to the previous year when it was 22.63%. This shows that the profitability of the company has declined over the years.
