Assignment Steps

Search the internet for financial statements of publicly traded companies.

Evaluate financial ratios in a minimum 1,050 words which includes the following:

  • Explain the uses for each of the three classifications of ratios: liquidity, solvency, and profitability. Use week 1 feedback to improve your discussion.
  • Calculate the current ratio, profit margin, and after tax ROE, of any publicly traded company you found.
  • Then locate in Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, or Morningstar the current ratio, profit margin and after tax ROE of the publicly traded company. Compare your computed ratios with the ratios provided for that firm by Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, or Morningstar.
  • . Display your calculations in a chart with the formulas and compare the ones you calculated with the ones you located from Yahoo finance, Google Finance, or Morningstar. They will more than likely not be the exact same amounts because of the difference in dates of the calculations you did and the published dates.
