This discussion forum will focus on interpreting and analyzing financial statements.
Choose a current financial statement from a Fortune 500 company. Any publicly traded companies will have their quarterly earnings on their website. Choose a company and do search looking for their most recent earnings comparison. Include in your post the company name, website where you found the information, and a screenshot of the financial statement- it does not have to be the entire financial statement. Include a screenshot of the assets, liabilities, and equity.
Pick three of the following ratios to include based on the readings and discuss the implications of the results: gross profit margin, net profit margin, inventory turnover (if applicable), return on assets, current ratio, debt-to-equity, or interest coverage. Also discuss (using chapter 13 of the reading Introduction to business) a cash flow analysis of your chosen company including discussion of accounts payable and accounts receivable. Include discussion of what the implications are of the cash flows consolidated statement of your chosen company (should also be a part of their quarterly earnings).
Remember that the data you are discussing should not be older than the most recently completed quarter.
Note. Your assignment will be graded in accordance with the Discussion Forum Assignment Rubric Unit 4.
