I need help on making an operational budget for Pfizer which I chose at the beginning of the course.

For this Interactive Assignment, you are going to look at the financial statements for the company you selected and, using the previous quarters financial data, interpret the data and propose a budget for the next Quarter based on your current and previous analysis of company performance. Complete the budget template using this Operating Budget Template:

• List your current sales, discounts and allowances, net sales, margins, operating costs, and earning before and after taxes.
• Choose a minimum of two financial ratios (below) and include in your analysis.
• Prepare the next quarters budget based on your interpretation of past data.

Include at least two of the following types of relevant financial ratios in your analysis. Review the online article Analyze Investments Quickly With Ratios (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (Elmerraji, 2017) and Chapter 5 in Abrahams textbook to help with this portion of the budget:

• Profitability Ratio
• Liquidity Ratio
• Solvency Ratio
• Valuation Ratio
• Leverage Ratio

(NOTE: Incorporate the feedback you receive from your instructor and peers and save your work. It will be part of your Strategic Plan Final Project for this course).

Initial Post: In your initial post, provide a brief description of your company and provide a summary of your Operating Budget along with a rationale that supports suggested budgetary changes.
