Step 1:perform a ratio analysis that includes ROA; ROE; Debt/Assets and any other financial ratio you deem important.

Step 2:perform another ratio analysis with the same ratios except you need to adjust for Goodwill as set forth in the Home Depot Financial Story presentation.

Step 3: You need to discuss the revised ratio computations in Step 2 compared to Step 1. Please be sure to include any insights and related thoughts rather than just noting the differences in your computations. We are always taught the importance of the financial ratio analysis and the related insights derived; however, the "revised" ratio analysis you perform in Step 2 may yield additional insights into the organization. As a strategist, it is important to go beyond the standard analysis. As a business professional your thoughts and insights are important.
