Students will work on the assignment collaboratively in groups of three or four students. Each group will select an industry of interest to the group, and each student will select a company within that industry. Students will download the relevant financial data from the Internet and perform ratio analysis for the selected companies. Since successful financial ratio analysis is as much an art as it is a science, students must use common sense and sound judgment throughout the analysis. The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with the opportunity to:
- retrieve real time financial data via the Web;
- analyze the financial performance of selected companies;
- practice communication skills, both in writing (through word processing) and in speaking (through giving a Power Point presentation);
- enhance teamwork skills.
To evaluate how the selected company is performing over time, more than one year’s financial ratios are required. Students are instructed to follow the path shown below to retrieve the financial profile for the selected company via Dow Jones Interactive. (The initial steps may differ depending on how your library’s site is organized.)
