calculate the financial ratios needed to determine your chosen business's current financial health. Once you've calculated these ratios, you will use the results to analyze the business's current financial position. This will help you make decisions about how to improve or maintain their financial health. Pay close attention to working capital management. If liquidity is an issue, think about how the company will meet its short-term obligations.

Directions

For the company you chose in the Module Two journal assignment, open the following documents:

• The balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement from the most recent fiscal quarter (from Mergent Online)
• The Ratios Most Recent Fiscal Qtr worksheet in the Project Two Financial Formulasworkbook.
  • For example, if the most recent fiscal quarter available is the third quarter in 2022, you'll compare those results to the same financial calculations from the third quarter in 2021.
• The Ratios Same Fiscal Qtr 1 Year Ago worksheet

1. Fiscal Quarter Comparison. Summarize the differences between the following:
   1. The results from your financial calculations of the most recent fiscal quarter
   2. The results of the same financial calculations of the same fiscal quarter from one year ago
      1. For example, if the most recent fiscal quarter available is the third quarter in 2022, you'll compare those results to the same financial calculations from the third quarter in 2021.
2. Comparison Analysis. Explain what your calculations and comparison show about the business's current financial health. Give examples to support your explanation for the following questions:
   1. Do the results show the business is financially healthy or unhealthy? Which results indicate this?
   2. What might be the causes of the business's financial success or failure?
   3. Is more information needed to determine the business's financial health? If so, which pieces of information might still be needed?
3. Short-Term Financing. Explain how potential short-term financing sources could help the business raise funds needed to improve its financial health. Base your response on the business's current financial information.
