Your team has been hired by a multi-national conglomerate to assess two US public companies within the same industry. Your analysis will be used to decide on a major investment in one of the companies. Use the financial statements provided and any other data you wish to collect. For market performance analysis purposes use the stock market data at close of day on the last day of the period for the financial statements. If the stock market was not open on the last day of the period, use the most recent day prior to the financial statement date.

Prepare Ratios that Assess Profitability and Market Performance:

Market information, like stock prices, is not normally available in the financial statements. You will have to research that. Go online to find the close of day market price for the last day of your fiscal year for each year being considered. If the stock market was closed on the last day of the fiscal year, use the most recent day preceding the end of the period.

a. The earnings per share.

b. The dividend yield ratio.

c. The dividend payout ratio.

d. The price-earnings ratio.
