Hi, can someone help me with a final project I have coming up? I am totally stuck on what the professor is asking for and how to do the excel portion of the assignment.

Task 1

Here is the description:

Select one company that you would like to analyze for your project. Make sure you select a company:

• • whose main operations are based in the United States, and
  • that has their financial statements online (SEC filing 10-K)

After selecting your company, you will use three analytical techniques to evaluate the companys financial performance. In a Microsoft Excel workbook, create three tabs and use one tab for each of the following:

• Complete a horizontal analysis (aka trend analysis) for the company over the three most recent fiscal years for both the balance sheet and income statement. This means you will need to look up at least two 10-Ks for the same company.
• Complete a vertical analysis for the company over three fiscal years for both the balance sheet and income statement. Again, this means you will need to look up at least two 10-Ks for the same company.
• Choose one ratio from each of the following categories. Calculate the ratio for two different years (for a total of eight ratios):
  • Liquidity
  • Solvency
  • Profitability
  • Stock Market
• Task 2

-Based on your analysis, you will write to a professional audience to persuade them whether they should or not invest in the company. Organize your analysis into a business memo format.

-An executive summary (one paragraph) describing whether they recommend investing in the company -Make sure to reference your financial analysis and course materials to support your analysis.

I NEED THIS ASAP ALL .
