What areas does your company need to improve and what areas are they doing well based on these ratios?

Case Study Presentation

Step 1:

Identify a public company that you’re interested in exploring for a case study presentation. Go to the company's website and review their annual report and financial statements. After your review prepare a narrated PowerPoint addressing the following points. Please use Excel documents when preparing tables or proformas.

Select two liquidity, two profitability and two debt/leverage financial ratios.

Calculate each ratio for your selected company and compare to industry standards. What areas does your company need to improve and what areas are they doing well based on these ratios? What can they do within their operations to make those improvements?

Identify one potential growth area for your company.

Prepare a proforma income statement based on this estimated growth rate, for example how might it affect revenues and expenses.

How would you recommend your company finance this growth initiative and why?

What are the risks associated with your financing selection?
