Respuesta :

Answer:

American Eagle

Explanation:

Total assets of American Eagle corporation as of February 3, 2018 was $1,816,313 (in thousands). On the other hand, total assets of Buckle corporation at the same time was $538,116 (in thousands).

                              For the year ended, February 3, 2018

                         American Eagle (in thousands)    Buckle (in thousands)

Net sales                  $3,795,549                                     $913,380

Net Income              $204,163                                          $89,707

American Eagle corporation is bigger than Buckle corporation. The number of retail stores of Eagle company is higher than the Buckle corporation. Therefore, the revenue is higher. Again, the company has more non-current assets from which American Eagle company can generate more revenues. So, for those reasons, American Eagle is a better company.
