Attached are a set of Financial Statements (Balance Sheet and Income Statement) for a sample corporation. The assigment is to analyze and document what has transpired over this period both in terms of actions taken and any resulted that have occurred. While you should examine financial ratios over the period, do not just comment on individual ratio changes. Your submission needs to critically examine the interrelationship of outcomes. Are they the result of discrete actions undertaken by management and if so, is there an indication that the intended results were achieved? For example: - Were major capital investments made during the period? - Ifso, how were they finance and how did this impact the statements? - Has the financing of capital assets introduced additional risk to any investor group? - Did the investment in new capital assets generate enhanced profits and to which group of investors? - What decisions did the owners (equity investors) make regarding net income generated each year? These are examples of what you should look at and not intended as the only factors in your analysis The assignment should include technical backup using the linked excel spreadsheet I have provided. While I am sure that many of you are familiar with how to manage a linked excel file, I have included a spreadsheet offering some tips on how to manage the data. However, the submission should be centred around a written assessment of what has transpired over the period examined. While the analysis will be undertaken in an Excel file, the written text will be presented in a Word File. It should be 1 to 11/2 pages in length. All material will be submitted to the Courselink dropbox by Sunday April 1 at 11:59 PM. You will need to have covered the material in Chapters 3&4 before you begin the assignment. This can be a personal or group assignment with up to three students in a group. In either case, be sure the submission reflects your or your group's analysis of the material provided and not that of another individual or group. Also be sure to clearly indicate in your submission the names of all who participated.
