Question 1
Ongoing Analysis Project
An important part of learning is application. To learn accounting, we must practice the skills taught and apply those skills to real-world problems. To that end, we have designed a project to reinforce the lessons in each module and apply them to real world companies. By working through the questions in each module, you will complete a comprehensive analysis of two publicly traded companies that operating in roughly the same industry: Parker Hannifin and Illinois Tool Works. Questions require you to calculate and interpret a wide range of ratios. In later modules, you will create a set of forecasted financial statements for each company and then estimate a value for each company's equity. The analysis in this project is similar to the analysis performed by financial analysts, lenders, and investors. You might not aspire to those roles, but by completing a project of this magnitude, you will have mastered financial reporting at a sufficient level to be able to step into any role in an organization.
Obtain financial statements
- Download the 2022 Excel financial statements for each company.
Park HannifinIllinois Tool Works
- Download each company's 2022 annual report.
Park HannifinIllinois Tool Works NOTE: You might notice some small differences between the financials in the Excel spreadsheets and those in the annual reports. The Excel version has been prepared for learning purposes and differ from the annual reports in a few places. One difference is the Excel balance sheet includes four years as compared to the two years presented in the annual report. We added more years so that you can calculate ratios for three years (more about that later). Other differences relate to presentation and style. For example, neither company includes a line for "Gross profit" in their income statement and Parker Hannifin also omitted a line for "Operating income." The Excel spreadsheet shows those two items (and others) to make the financial statements consistent with the textbook examples and with the other company.
For your submitted work, you should ALWAYS use the Excel version of the financial statements so that your answers are consistent with the solutions provided.
Balance sheet analysis
Using the balance sheet tab in the Excel financial statements files, prepare a common-size balance sheet for each company. Express each line on the balance sheet as a percent of total assets. Do this for all years on the balance sheet. Look for major differences over time and between the companies. Use the common size balance sheet to answer the following questions. (a) What are the company's two largest assets in 2022 ranked in order and their respective percentage shares of the total assets? Note: Round to the nearest whole percentage point; for example, enter 60 for 60.4% or 61 for 60.5%.
