This  is your opportunity to play detective and do some financial statement   analysis.  Please select any publicly traded company. The CSU Online Library   has  several databases to choose from that are good starting points for your    research:

  •   Mergent   Online,
  •    Business   Insights: Global,
  •  Business   Source Ultimate, and
  •    ABI/INFORM   Collection.

In  addition to using at least one database article or report from the CSU   Online  Library, you may also use any reliable website, such as the company’s   web page.

For  the company you select, find the annual report and the financial ratio    information for the following ratios:

  •    debt-to-equity,
  •  current   ratio,
  •  return   on equity,
  •  quick   ratio,
  •  working   capital ratio,
  •  price   earnings ratio, and
  •  earnings   per share.

Once  you have reviewed the information, write an essay that begins with a   brief  introduction to your chosen company. Next, explain how the company is   doing with  respect to the ratios. In one to three sentences, briefly summarize   what each of  the ratios are telling you about the company. Conclude with how   you predict it  will do in the future.

Your  essay should be at least one page in length. Use APA format to cite and   reference all quoted and paraphrased material, including your textbook. Use a    minimum of two sources, one of which may be the textbook. Include a title page,    introduction, body, conclusion, and references page. An abstract is not    required.
