Firm 2 is utility firm; with second highest in oprating margin and ROE with bottom in ROCE hence its has average perfomance in the group as belongs to uility industry.
Firm 3 is software industry as it has highest ROE (30.03%) this is beacuse of highest operating margin in the group. That could become possible as software has relatively high market share with less expensive to produce
