Prepare a paper analyzing the company's past three years of financial results:

Begin by creating a table listing at least 10 financial ratios for the last three years (three years trend, 10 ratios, 30 ratios total).

You can either calculate these ratios yourself using the financial data found, or use the ratios you find from your sources.

The ratios you study are up to you. Use whatever ratios you find most revealing. However, you should include return on equity (ROE) and its three components: total asset turnover, profit margin, and financial leverage (asset/equity or debt/equity).

Evaluate and comment on any interesting trends you find. What ratios have changed significantly over the past three years?

What does this indicate? Do the ratios suggest financial strength? What potential weaknesses do you see? What could the company do to improve these ratios? Conclude with a recommendation, based on your analysis, as to whether the company is prepared to take on a large growth opportunity.
