You must compute all required ratios using formulas that link back to the correct financial statements and trial balances. For instance, on current ratio, compute the current ratio but also include the amounts into the yellow shaded area - so you link to current assets so the amount shows there, link to current liabilities to have the correct amounts show there, then compute the ratio referencing the areas you completed in yellow. In column J, comment on significant changes between prior years, industry, and the current year. Note what the ratios mean and how the current year compares to the other information. After completing all of the ratio calculations and analysis, complete a separate word document that is a memo that explains your findings. There is not a length requirement, however you will be graded upon the substance of your analysis.

Part III Financial Statement Analysis a. Within this workbook there is a worksheet labeled "Adjusted Trial Balances". Within that worksheet you will find fully completed trial balances for three years. Also within this workbook you will find worksheets for comparative income statements and comparative balance sheets. Using the trial balances and comparative financial statements you need to calculate a variety of ratios. You will find the required ratios in the worksheet labeled "Ratios Historical". Complete all the required ratios. You MUST use formulas and/or linking to compute your ratios. You can not simply hard key the answers. You must reference the appropriate data from the trial balances and comparative financial statements. b. After completing all of your ratio calcualtions, analyze the results in comparison to prior years and industry averages. Write a business memo explaining your findings. Your memo should be writtin in Word and it should follow normal business memo conventions. There is not a length requirement, however you will be graded upon the substance of your analysis.
