In this module, you will complete and submit your final project. You performed a vertical and horizontal analysis and a ratio analysis in module 4. In this module you will interpret these documents for your investment audience, as well as researching competitor information. Lastly, you will use the information from your analysis and research this week and the information you gathered during the weekly live classrooms to come to a decision about whether you would recommend investmen in the company.

This week's submission will include the following:

1. Workbook from Module 01, completed in Module 04:
2. Investment Report prepared for an investment board detailing your recommendation for investment or against investment:
3. Analyze the horizontal and vertical analysis you completed in the workbook. Choose three items from each analysis that you feel are important to highlight, positive or negative. Share what these items mean in terms of the company's performance and the industry/competitors and your recommendation to invest or not to invest based on these figures. Remember to support your recommendation with the figures calculated in your analysis.
4. Analyze the ratio analysis you completed in the workbook. Address each area of ratio analysis: liquidity, solvency, asset management, profitability, and market analysis. Interpret these ratios, and explain what they mean for your company, supporting your explanation with your calculations.
5. Locate or calculate at least 5 key ratios from your company's main competitor. Compare your company to the competition and explain which company is performing better. Support your explanation with your calculations or research of the competition.
6. Advise your audience whether to invest in your company, with a summary of why you advise this.
7. Use proper APA formatting and correct usage of English grammar and mechanics, including a cover page, in-text citations, and a reference page. Your finished research paper should be 2-4 pages.
