ACCT 2301 BUSINESS PRINCIPLES COMPANY ANALYSIS PROJECT
ACCT 2301 BUSINESS PRINCIPLES COMPANY ANALYSIS PROJECT
This project will have you analyze an assigned company based on the ratios found in chapter
13. Your answers must be detailed enough to paint an overview of the companys financial performance and must provide sources used to avoid plagiarism. Any plagiarism (information provided without sources) will result in an automatic zero and potential disciplinary action as noted per the SJC student handbook.
Project Requirements
A single report will be prepared addressing the areas in this document. Do NOT include the questions below in your report.
There is no maximum length; a minimum of 3 pages is required. Use double-spacing, 12-point font size, and black text color. No specific formatting requirements outside of these already provided (i.e. stuff like MLA doesnt matter here).
Company Selection
Your company must be a public-traded company with information accessible on the internet (or other easily accessible source; this is to make your lives easier to find information). Examples include Microsoft, Ford Motor Co, Shell Oil, General Motors, Chipotles, Amazon, Boeing, Home Depot, Coca-Cola, Tesla, Wal-Mart, Pepsi, Apple, Facebook, McDonalds. Get creative and find a company you are interested in, pick a company that is maybe currently controversial (GE was recently in the news for potential financial fraud, but there are many others), or pick a company that went under to compare the financials for the prior 2 years before they didnt survive.
Paper Structure
All papers must include a Company Introduction & Background on the company. Then you must calculate and discuss the following ratios for the body of your paper:
Current Ratio
Acid Test Ratio
Inventory Turnover Ratio
Debt Ratio
Equity Ratio
Debt to Equity Ratio
Profit Margin Ratio
Earnings Per Share
When addressing the financial ratios, include as much detail as you feel necessary. There may be some questions you cannot answer due to the lack of available information in these cases, you may provide other information related to that.
Other Topics you may want to include:
Looking at the companys financial statements, does the company issue financial statements according to GAAP or IFRS (or some other accounting standard)?
What is the companys total assets, liabilities, and equity from its balance sheet for the most recent year?
What is the companys 3 largest assets and 3 largest liabilities for the most recent year? Why do you think these are the largest?
What is the companys total revenue for the most recent year?
What is the companys net income for the most recent year?
Use the ratios on page 511 in chapter 13 to determine the companys financial performance and health. Interpret each ratio and discuss how it reflects on the company. If you want to, you can pick a competitor and compare the competitors ratio to your companys ratio.
What type of financing does the company employ stock, debt, or a mix? How much?
What is the companys current common stock price (at the time of your answering this question)? Give the date of the stock quote and the source. If there are multiple classes or types of stock, provide this information for each class or type.
What stock exchange does the companys stock trade on?
Does the company pay dividends? If so, how much was the most recent dividend paid? What date was it paid? Provide source used.
Does the company use bonds? If so, how much bond debt is on the balance sheet?
