I need help with a question
Write a research paper on the following. The assignment has two
requirements:
•
1.) Select a publicly-traded company that is traded on U.S.
exchange. Locate the annual report for at least the last three
fiscal years.
Analyze the financial statements for the company and review for
large movements in specific accounts from one year to the next.
In addition, review the notes to the financial statements as these
are an integral part of the financial reporting package. Evaluate
the balance sheet to determine if there are large changes in the
company’s assets, liabilities, or equity accounts. In addition,
analyze the income statement and statement of cash flows.
•
2.) At a minimum, calculate the following ratios for two years,
the debt-to-equity ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, return on
equity, and net profit margin. For each ratio, explain what the
ratio tells you about the company.
The research paper must have a minimum of 2-3 pages (excluding the
title and reference page) and be formatted in APA 7th edition.
