Two worksheets correspond to this assignment. One worksheet includes financial information for Nike and the other worksheet includes financial information for Caterpillar. Each worksheet includes the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement of the respective company. Below the Income Statement, you will find orange and blue boxes. Calculate the companys Free Cash Flow for the most current year by completing the orange color boxes in the worksheet. In addition, calculate the uses for each companys FCF by completing the blue boxes found below the FCF calculations.

When you have completed the worksheet for Nike and Caterpillar, write an analysis (one page per company) summarizing your results. In your analysis, interpret the meaning of each companys FCF value. Describe the breakdown of how each company used this FCF. Include all five categories. From this Usage indicate how each companys shareholders and debt holders were affected during 2016. For example, explain whether shareholders from each company contributed or received money from the company in 2016. Also, explain whether debt holders of each company contributed or received money from the company in 2016. Also indicate if either company used any of its free cash flow to purchase short term investments outside of the company. (30 points per company)
