I need help with this long finance problem. I have attached the screenshots containing info and the questions.
Spreadsheet problem 0 Make a spreadsheet of the first 7 lines of Gucci's 'Consolidated Statements of income\" for 2003, 2002 and 2001. Create additional columns to show Gross Prot Margin, Operating Prot Margin and all expenses as a percent of sales. Write 2-3 sentences explaining which expenses contributed to the decrease in operating profit from 2001 to 2003. Calculate the Current Ratio for 2002 and 2003 and explain what the comparison of this ratio between the two years tells you. What, if anything, should you be concerned of as an investor? Calculate the Quick/A cid Test Ratio for 2002 and 2003 and explain what this ratio tells you. Calculate inventory turnover for 2003 and 2002. (use year-end asset balances, rather than average balances.) What does the difference in inventory turnover tell you about the company's performance? A. Calculate the difference in cash and cash equivalents from 2002 to 2003. B. What was the single largest use of that cash? (a cash equivalent would be anything that can be liquidated easily, like marketable securities). M can be used/generated through income statement, assets, loans and moves in shareholder equity. Submit as an Excel spread sheet through canvas with all formulas in place. GUCCI GUCCI GROUP GUCCI GROUP N.
