A This homework will ultimately make up section 2.2 Financial Statement Analysis in the inal term paper. Calculate all financial ratios as we did in class (for the five years), and conduct (verbally) a trend analysis. Be specific about your findings. Discuss individual ratios that illustrate your findings. Explain what has been occurring in the company to cause problems or opportunities over time. Make sure you interpret (verbally) the DuPont Analysis which might be a good way to organize your analysis. Compare the financials to the industry using Dun and Bradstreet, and interpret. Dunn and Bradstreet ratios will be found in the reference section at the library. Again be specific about your findings. Discuss individual ratios that illustrate your findings. Describe and explain what you consider to be the root cause of the problem highlighted by this analysis. Make a prognosis (is it on deaths door step, is it extremely healthy, what can they do to improve their financial health, etc.). Make sure that you tie all ratios together (like in the cancer example we talked about in class sometimes several ratios together means something different from the ratios do separately). Based on your prognosis, make management recommendations to maximize shareholder wealth. What would you recommend the managers do to improve performance from a shareholder's perspective? This written component should be between 250 and 750 words. Again, please reference any outside source you used. Feel free to include any figures, graphs or tables that may add to the reader's understanding of your analysis and conclusions. do (Ca 50s: irgin Ma tin (M owe ts (Fe YIR nove in (M itios: (P/E) W/B) NeOr 00 S ccess
