Description
discussion board post for my finance course (Principle Of Finance). Below are the exact requirements provided by my instructor:
Financial Analysis
Select two of the four companies shown below. Use the following SEC Edgar website for your research:
Companies:
- FORD MOTOR CO
- Walmart Inc.
- Pepsi
- Coca-Cola
Instructions:
- Compare the firms’ profits for the past two years.
- Compute the working capital for each firm.
- Determine the price-earnings (P/E) ratio.
- Calculate the debt-to-equity ratio.
- Discuss what each calculation tells you about the firm. Are they a good investment?
- Discuss the limitations of this analysis.
Directions:
- Discuss the concepts, principles, and theories from your textbook. Be sure to cite the textbook and use the lectures provided so that the analysis aligns with the material we’ve covered so far in the course.
- Your initial post should address all components of the question with a 550-650 words limit.
- Please ensure that the citations and analysis reflect the concepts we’ve discussed in class, so it doesn’t appear that the analysis was done using advanced skills we haven’t covered yet.
