Hello.

I have a rough draft corporation financial analysis report to do. Can someone help me. What you need to do is find two U.S. corporation and compare their liquidity ratios, operating profitability, financial decision, and market value. Look at the power-point and it'll give you better example. The rough draft financial analysis need to be done on Microsoft Word.

They have nearly half of their assets financed by debt as well as a negative return on their assets. If something were to happen and they had to pay off their creditors they would have no assets or cash remaining. ATVI is a much better investment in my opinion because of their relatively low debt and positive earnings ratios. References ATVI: Summary for Activision Blizzard, IncYahoo! Finance. (n.d.). Yahoo!
