  • 1.)  Select a publicly-traded company that is traded on U.S. exchange.  Locate the annual report for at least the last three fiscal years.
    Analyze  the financial statements for the company and review for large movements  in specific accounts from one year to the next. In addition, review the  notes to the financial statements as these are an integral part of the  financial reporting package. Evaluate the balance sheet to determine if  there are large changes in the company’s assets, liabilities, or equity  accounts. In addition, analyze the income statement and statement of  cash flows.
  • 2.)   At a minimum, calculate the following ratios for two years, the  debt-to-equity ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, return on equity, and  net profit margin. For each ratio, explain what the ratio tells you  about the company.
