Question $1$Financial Industry The first industry category is the Financial Industry, within which our sample company is a commercial bankNote that the accounting statement categories tend to be different for banks than for companies in other industries, so the bank's loans are categorized in these statements are accounts receivable, demand, savings, and other types of deposits are categorized as accounts payable, and the equivalent of sales or revenues for banks would be their interest Income. the key question to consider is$,$ how would a bank's asset and liability structure, and ratios of income statement quantities relative to the asset structure quantities, be different for the bank compared to those for the other eight company$/$industry$/$industry category combinations to which the bank is being compared in this case? Question $2$Retail Industry Once the bank has been identified $($ assuming it's been identified correctly$),$ the next industry category to look at is the Retail Industry, for which the sample company covers general retail but has significant grocery operations and has asset and liability structures and a profit structure $(,$ in terms of its gross and net profit margins$)$ that are all similar to those of typical grocery stores. the key question here is$,$ how would these numbers and ratios be different for grocery stores than they are for companies in the remaining industry categories $($High Technology, Service, and Capital$-$Intensive$)?$ Think about the actual types of assets a grocery store would have, where those assets are located, and how often and under what circumstances the grocery store would part with and then replace those assets $.$ Which of the eight remaining companies has ratios that are most consistent with these operational characteristics? Question $3-$High Technology Industries Once you have identified the bank and the grocery store, the next industry category to try to pick out are the High Technology industries, includingmore specifically, a computer software company, an R&D$-$ based pharmaceutical manufacturer, and an R&D$-$based semiconductor manufacturerWhat is a key type of asset that these types of companies are likely to have, and how might this type of asset affect their financial ratios? What is it that's unique about these companies $($as compared to the two remaining industry categories of Service or Capital$-$ Intensive non$-$R&D $-$based$)$ industries$),$ and how might these differences be reflected in their respective financial statements $?$ Question $4$ Service Industry The company in the $4$th industry categorythe Service industry, is the mobile phone service provider. The key question to think about here is$,$ what would the relative distribution of its asset base $($egthe amount of accounts receivable versus inventory versus fixed assets$)$ and the relative levels of turnover for these asset categories look like for a mobile phone service provider as compared to the other three remaining $($ Capital$-$Intensive$)$ companies$-$the liquor producer and distributor, the discount airline, and the large integrated and gas company Question $-$ Capitalintensive non$-$R&D$-$ based$)$ Industries Andfinally, once you have pared down the list to have only the CapitalIntensive companies remaining $,$ the producer and distributor, the discount airline, and the large tegrated oil and gas company $-$how do you distinguish between these three? Which of these have is to to breakdown of which is to have a greater proportion of A $($selling general, and administrative$)$ expenses $($ would they all have to invest the same amount in marketing, for Which would have more inventory? Ditto for accounts receivable? What would their respective accounts receivable and inventory turnovers look like? Which of the companies would them over much more frequently Which would them over more slowly
