Problem
a. Assume that Beverly Enterprises and Manor Care, two operators of nursing homes, have fiscal years that end at different times-say, one in June and one in December. Would this fact cause any problems when comparing ratios between the two companies?
b. Assume that two companies that operate walk-in clinics both had the same December year end, but one was based in Aspen, Colorado, a winter resort, while the other operated in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a summer resort. Would this lead to problems in a comparative analysis?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
