Proporzo Inc. Comparative Income Statement Outlet Prop Comparative Income Statement Proporzo Comparative Balance Sheet Case Study Assignment Scenario You are a recently hired college graduate working for Monsoon Pictures, a studio that produces full-length motion pictures and several television shows for both streaming and theatrical release. Recently, at a meeting, the CEO of the company introduced an idea proposed by the Board of Directors to purchase a prop company to vertically integrate and save money on the props used in production. This would give Monsoon a way to control costs and control the props used from project to project. In addition, Monsoon would be able to use the investment in the prop company to diversify and sell props to other studios to generate more cash flows that could be used to offset the cost of high-cost feature productions. You and your team have been tasked with evaluating two options, Proporzo Company and Stock Props. It is important that you evaluate the companies on many levels and make a recommendation as to which company would make the best investment choice for Monsoon.
