For this assignment you will select to work on EITHER Polaris or Arctic Cat. Depending on which you choose, access the firm's financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2014, from the firm's website or the SEC database. Use the most current 10K statements available on SEC or annual statements in Yahoo Finance. Complete the following for your chosen firm (Polaris or Artic Cat) in an Excel spreadsheet:

  1. Horizontal and vertical analysis of the income statements for the past two years (all yearly balances set as a percentage of total revenues for that year)
  2. Horizontal and vertical analysis of the balance sheets for the past two years (all yearly balances set as a percentage of total assets for that year)
  3. Ratio analysis (eight ratios of your choosing) for the past two years PLUS a measurement for the creditworthiness of both firms as measured by Altman's Z-score.

As you know, I cannot post links to the data directly due to their anti-linking policy. You must pull the data from the SEC or company directly. Thank you
