As the new financial manager of your company, the CEO has asked
your team to provide a brief analysis of the company’s performance
to present at the upcoming board of directors meeting. The CEO has
asked that you assess the company’s performance against your
company’s industry. Thus, to do this, you will need to use ratio
analysis or other techniques to determine areas in which the
company is doing well, as well as areas that management should look
at.
Here are the steps for the project: 1. Select your teammate.
Each team should be made up of two members.
2. Determine which company you will analyze for the project.
Your selection may be subject to your professor’s approval. The
company that you select will likely be used for all four team
projects. As such, be sure that the company has debt on its balance
sheet, as this will be a requirement for future projects.
3. Go to the website for your company and download the 10-K
report for the most recent year.
4. Perform your ratio analysis on your company: a. A good place
to start would be to perform a complete DuPont analysis of the
company. The DuPont analysis might provide guidance as to what
particular areas of the company should be examined next and what
ratios should be calculated. Be sure to include ratios that cover
the following areas:
i. Profitability ii. Debt Management iii. Liquidity iv. Asset
Management v. Market Value
b. In addition to the DuPont analysis ratios, be sure to present
and discuss at least six relevant ratios that your team feels may
best assess the company’s performance. c. Using an online database,
such as bizstats.com or a similar database, capture the ratio
averages for your company’s industry to evaluate your company’s
performance. d. Provide an analysis that compares your company’s
ratios to the industry standards. There is no need to explain the
purpose of the ratios. Rather, be sure to provide an interpretation
of the results. This may entail some research from news sources on
the company’s recent performance.
e. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the
comparison of your company’s ratios against the industry ratios, as
well as your analysis. APA standards are to be followed for all
portions of this presentation, including but not limited to proper
references and citations.
f. Using Webex or Voicethread, prepare an oral presentation that
presents your PowerPoint presentation. Each team member must
participate in this presentation.
