I need to complete a project for ACG2021. I would like for my completed requirements to be checked (1 partial, 5, 6) and need help with the unanswered requirements 1-4. Attached you will find the excel document. Requirements are on the tabs at the bottom of the doc. Kohl's data is also attached.

ACG2021 Fall 2015 Comprehensive Financial Statement Analysis Project Group Members Last Name First Name 100% 100% 100% The objective of this exercise is to develop your ability to perform analysis of the financial information included in financial statements. Instructions: You will need the annual report for Kohl's Corporation for fiscal years 2014 and 2013. They will be provided to you in pdf format. Note that Kohl's fiscal year is referenced one year back, so, for example, the 2014 fiscal year relates to the fiscal year which ended on January 31, 2015 and the 2013 fiscal year relates to the year which ended February 1, 2014. Requirement 1: Basic Questions Answer the questions for the fiscal 2014 year in the shaded input box. The location (source) where you can find the answer is provided for you above the shaded input box. Use only that source to answer the question. The Index on the second page of the annual report PDF file gives you a table of contents which allows you to quickly find the sources of the information. Requirement 2 - 6: Ratio and Financial Analysis For the ratios in requirements 2 and 3, provide the formula of the ratio, the amounts used to calculate the ratio and what the ratio measures. Enter your answers in the shaded input boxes. The first one (a.) was completed as an illustration. The ratio formulas are listed in pages 775 - 777 in chapter 13 of your textbook. I have added the number of the ratio listed in pages 775 - 777 to each ratio so that you know exactly how to calculate them. When calculating the ratios, only use the amounts included in the audited financial statements (Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data); do not just enter those that may be shown in other sections of the annual report. All other sections of the annual report except for the financial statements are not audited and as such the preparer can calculate any other ratios or financial indicators are they wish, not necessarily as the textbook prescribes. If you pick up amounts in other sections you risk getting the question wrong. Since the fiscal 2014 financial statements are comparative, they include info for both fiscal years 2014 and 2013. Use those financial statements to answer the questions about 2013 as well. However, some ratios for the 2013 year will require you go to back an additional year because some of the 2013 ratios use averages which are calculated using the 2013 + 2012 balances. For example, the inventory turnover for 2013 uses average inventory calculated by using the 2013 ending inventory balance + the 2013 beginning inventory balance (which is the ending balance in 2012). You need to obtain the fiscal 2012 ending inventory balance included in the 2012 financial statements which have been provided to you. For ratios that include averages, use a simple average calculation (beginning + ending balance / 2). Other: Several questions have multiple parts. Make sure you answer every part in order to receive full credit. Please do not add columns or rows to this file. I will be using this file to grade and my grading template is in this same format. The points assigned to each question are included in the boxes highlighted in pink on the right-hand side of the question. There are 141 points which is equivalent to 100%.
