Company Comparisons, accounting assignment help

Download financial statements from your favorite company’s website. Please provide a copy of the statements. Failure to provide them will affect your grade!

Perform a horizontal analysis of both the balance sheet and the income statement.

Calculate the quick ratio and the current ratio.
Show me the calculations. What are the results? What do they mean
specifically (dollar for dollar) for you company? How does your company
compare to 2 other companies in the same industry?

Calculate the debt ratio and the equity ratio for
solvency. Show me the calculations. What are the results? What do they
mean specifically (dollar for dollar) for you company? How does your
company compare to 2 other companies in the same industry?

Calculate return on assets, return on equity and the
profit margin.  Show me the calculations.  What are the results? What
do they mean specifically (dollar for dollar) for you company? How does
your company compare to 2 other companies in the same industry?

 Put it all together! In a paper of NO MORE THAN 500
words, explain how ratios and horizontal analysis are useful (what did
they tell you pecifically about your company?).  How can we use this
information as managers? Based on your analysis, is your chosen company a
good investment? Calculations can be submitted on a spreadsheet and do
not count towards your word count. 

This  will require a good amount of credible, peer
reviewed research.  I provided a recommended post to help with this.
 Also, make sure the research is current (within the last few years). I
have had students use old sources and the information was outdated.
