Bus 211 Financial Accounting Quiz Part II
Compare your company’s ratios calculated in Part I with the industry ratios distributed in class and posted on iLearn. Use these ratios to analyze your company’s financial strength. This analysis should identify red flags (problems) or strengths of your company when compared to each ratio. A review of the financial statement ratios in your textbook will be helpful in your understanding of each ratio. Your analysis of each ratio must be at least 3-4 sentences. Include this discussion on the same document (word or excel) that you used to prepare Part I.
We will work through the entire project in class using the information from the Home Depot’s 10-K; however, the solutions will not be posted on iLearn like Part I, II and III of the Financial Analysis Project.
