Overview

OVS BAT4M Summative Project Financial Statement Analysis

In this project, you will select an industry, develop and implement a research plan, and organize a report that both verbally and visually expresses the results of your research.

Scenario

Imagine that you have a significant sum of money that you wish to invest. You have several options; you can choose a relatively safe investment, such as a GIC, which offers you a lower rate of return, or you can choose to take on some investment risk in the hopes of earning a higher rate of return by investing in stocks.

Requirements

You first need to select a company that is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). You will then prepare a report that analyzes the historic success of the company, the economic conditions of the industry, and the probable future success of the company. Your report must include the following components:

• A copy of a current Annual Report for the company you selected

• A description of the industry that the company operates in, for example; retail, mining, auto

  parts, etc., and an economic overview of where that industry is heading

• Visuals of the company and its results as compared to the industry as a whole, including graphs, tables, etc., if readily available on the internet

• An analysis of the companys annual report, including;

  • horizontal analysis of at least one item from the companys financial reports

  • vertical analysis of this company within this industry as a whole or as compared to a

    competitor

  • a ratios analysis involving at least one liquidity ratio, at least one profitability ratio, and

    at least one solvency ratio.

• An overview of the historic success of the company and a forecast about its future

• A final conclusion as to whether this company would be a good investment for your hard-earned savings as opposed to a safer option with a lower return

• A Works Cited page in MLA format. Note that a minimum of three different sources must be used for your report.

This is a guideline of a project given to me. I want it to be about the Band of Montreal so, my project will be about the Bank of Montreal. Can you help me to finish it? Please do not refund it. I need this too much and cannot finish it.
