The purpose of this exercise is to have you do research on the company you have been assigned. The primary questions is: Prof. Koeplin has $10,000 to invest. I want you to make a recommendation to me (dont purchase this stock, hold off for now and wait, buy this stock now).
You are being asked to use the financial accounting reports for your company using the web. Look at the annual report for the latest year (and perhaps 2-3 years prior). Look at the Balance Sheetwhat has happened to total assets? What has happened to total liabilities? Where is the company getting the resources for their assetsis it from debt (liabilities) or stock or earnings?
Take 4-5 of the various ratios we looked at do they help to tell us how the company is doing? Look at the notes to the financial statements, is there anything there th
at should be disclosed to me? How about the management report?
I suggest you look at the last 2-3 years and see what has happened to revenues and expenses during this period. Has revenue grown? Have expenses grown in the same manner? What would you say is the trend on these items for your company?
What has the stock price for your company been for the past 2-3 years? Has it been increasing? Decreasing? Any reasons?
Any other information that you could tell me related to the company and whether I should invest? Who are the companies that are in competition with your company?
I would like your report to be two pages max. You can take 1-2 paragraphs talking about the company. Specifically respond to the question of whether or not you would recommend purchase of the stock
I would like it to be checked for plagiarism as well
