Display 10 ratios covered during the semester, including ROA, ROCE, both disaggregated, and z-score. Comment on any significant changes. Ratios should be supported by detailed calculations on a separate excel worksheet. Include similar ratios for one key competitor for the latest fiscal year,

5. Prepare forecasted financial statements Prepare a comprehensive income statement for the next two fiscal years (2021 and 2022). Reference line items (i.e., Revenue) to a detailed back-up slide that shows assumptions used and calculations. You need to use the material provided in steps 1-4 to prepare a proper forecast using the 7 - step process covered in Chapter 10. Do not just increase line items by a growth percentage. Use the bottoms approach or store square footage methods covered in class.

6. Value the Company Using two of the three models studied to value a company (earnings, free cash flow, or dividends model) derive a valuation for your company using your forecasted financial statements. Document your findings on a back-up slide detailing your assumptions and calculations. Compare your valuation with the current reported market cap of your company to determine if it is properly, over or under valued.
