Assignment: Financial Analysis Report
This assignment applies some of the principles of accounting analysis learned in this course, by analyzing the financial statements of a real company. The assignment is to be done individually. Each student must select a different company, on a first come first serve basis. Once you have selected your company, be sure no one else has chosen that company by indicating this on our Blackboard course website. You will be able to find the financial information about the company on the company's website or through other research methods.

a) Name of company
b) List of the products sold or services performed
c) Date of the financial statements
d) A list of five key ratios.
Part B:
Prepare a paragraph analysis and summary of the major financial and non-financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm (approximately half a page). Be sure to include the company's strategies for solving its problems and its outlook for the future.
Part C:
Based on the analysis you have performed, provide a brief paragraph explanation as to why you would or would not invest $10,000 in this company.
