<strong>Financial</strong> <strong>Statement</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> <strong>Project</strong> & <strong>Rubric</strong><br />

Purpose: Students will assume the role of senior management or the board in analyzing the<br />

current financial performance of the firm using peer and trend ratio analysis and the <strong>Statement</strong> of<br />

Cash Flows.<br />

Deliverable: The final product will be a typed report that includes financial and ratio data and<br />

analysis. Ratio calculations should be calculated in Excel using formulas. The analysis portion<br />

of the report may be completed in Excel or Word.<br />

Steps:<br />

1. Choose a publicly traded firm to analyze. Choices must be approved by the instructor and<br />

only one student may choose each firm.<br />

2. Obtain three years of financial information, including the balance sheet, income<br />

statement, and statement of cash flows.<br />

3. Compile financial information in Excel in such a way that ratios may be easily calculated<br />

for each of the three years.<br />

4. Calculate the ratios discussed in Chapter 17 of the textbook.<br />

5. Conduct peer and trend analysis for each ratio or groups of ratios. Find industry<br />

information or specific firm information to conduct the peer analysis.<br />

6. Conduct trend analysis of the <strong>Statement</strong> of Cash Flows. Assess this year’s statement for<br />

noteworthy events or activities.<br />

7. Provide an overall assessment of the firm’s financial performance.
