Select two companies and perform an in-depth financial statement analysis using annual data for the past 10 years. One must be a blue chip company listed in the Dow Jones index.

Your discussion and analysis of each company should include:

• Company background
• Industry outlook
• Analysts forecasts
• Revenue, price, and income trend analysis
• Financial ratio analysis (use the Ratio Analysis Table; note that you will need to complete two charts, one for each company)
• Altmans Z-score calculation for at least three years
• Discussion of any ethical concerns about this and explanation of what could be done to improve or promote ethical behavior
