Think of this project as a report you will present orally with a PPT slideshow. Keep the words on your slide to an absolute minimum - if you need a target ...no more than 5 words on a slide.The paper/report (your words) should be in the notes area ... for your audience to read (if it were a live presentation they would be listening to you).

1. There is acombined deliverable. There is the PPT and the10-K paper which is to be embedded in thenotes areaofyour PPT.
2. Your PPT slides should not be wordy...rather use graphics to illustrate your point and put your words in the notes area.
3. Your references should be included at the bottom of the notes area for your last slide.
4. Because this is a combined deliverable, there should be no more than8slides, including the cover slide

• Cover slide - Include the name of the company and its ticker symbol, your name and the course (ACCT 220 6981) and the term (Fall 2016)
• Slide 2 -About the company. Put the details in the notes area!

  • Based on what you have learned would you be interested in investing in the stock of your company? Why or why not?
  • IN THE Notes area of this last slide put your references/bibliography.

Once more let me emphasize...minimum words on the slides...use pictures, graphics, illustrations etc ... make the slide interesting with clean formatting and put your report in the notes area.

• The notes area of each slide may have up to 2 sections.
  • The first section is your written report relating to the slide.
  • The second section contains all your computations - this is to be BELOW the written report content.

Remember to post your draft for comment by 26 October2016 - in the Week 6 discussion topic.

Give feedback to two classmates reports/PPTs by 30 October2016 - again in the week 6 topic. When you are giving feedback ... be sure to choose 2 students who do NOT have 2 feedback comments already. This way everyone can get feedback.

Ratio Formulas:

Inventory Turnover = COGS / Average Inventory

Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) / 2

Days Sales in Inventory = 365 / Inventory Turnover

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Accts Receivable

Average Accs Receivable = (Beginning A/R + Ending A/R) / 2

Average Collection Period = 365 / Accts Rec Turnover

Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio = Revenues / net PPE
