Now that you have studied the chapters involved in this Financial Accounting 2 course, I do not expect you to be a professional business analyst but you should have a pretty good handle on analyzing a public corporations’ financial statements (or knowing where to look for the answers) by knowing what dollar numbers you need, as well as what they mean. Buying a car, a house, and/or receiving a new credit card are just some of the ways you may have already encountered a company lending you money for your purchases. Now you will be on the other side of the desk in deciding whether or not you would be willing to give Netflix a loan.

The story line for your project is that you are the senior lending officer of a very large worldwide bank and Netflix has come to you to ask for a loan. They need to borrow $2,000,000 and will pay you back within 5 years from time of borrowing. They are going to use this money to update their software as they feel many users are “giving” their codes to their family and friends instead of their friends and families becoming members themselves. They need to create a larger department to write codes to try to prevent this from happening.

You will of course have to crunch numbers as shown in CH 15 and tell me what those numbers mean (in your own words) as part of your decision making. It’s your job to be very sure the bank will get paid back. You will also go on line to see what “others” think of Netflix’s future, deciding if you agree or disagree and then examine that information to see if Netflix meets your banks criteria. Be sure to attach URL information as to what “others” think about them to your word document

You will need to use Word and Excel for this project I expect correct grammar in the Word document and formulas within the Excel spreadsheets. I do not just want the answer on the spreadsheet I want the actual formula and as shown in the first example I made for you in Excel. The Word document should explain what it means (in your words) and the for or against or neutral for your own criteria in that paragraph.

I will expect 2 documents back from you. The Excel spreadsheet of which I answer the first formula driven question (you will use this for the other formula driven questions) and the Word document giving me what the information means in relationship to the loan in question. Simply type your answers within the pages given.

Ps. It would be good to find out who Netflix’s largest competitors are?
