Objective: To analyze a company using ratio analysis (chapter 3) and ideas/concepts

we have discussed in class (such as reviewing the Statement of Cash Flows) to

determine which company you would invest $5,000.

Required: A two-page typed report summarizing and supporting your decision

whether to invest in the company. You must include at least three reasons that led to

your conclusion. Your reasons may include specific ratios, a group of ratios, review of

the cash flow statement or stockholders' equity statement, or something we

discussed in class that may have caught your attention.

Please use the Cambria font, 14 point single spaced (normal spacing) for your report,

just as this instruction sheet reflects - font and spacing.

Also required, please submit the following:

the calculation of ratios (as listed on problem 3-30 for Lake of Egypt Marina,

page 89) for the company you've chosen.

• the spreadsheet showing your working to determining the ratio values.

You may choose a company on the list provided, though only one company per

student - so only one student may choose Apple, Inc. for example.

Please submit your choice for the company to be evaluated and analyzed in

your project by email to me. The first request for a particular company by a

student will get their choice.
