Each student will be assigned a company for which they will conduct a financial analysis. The project should be submitted through LiveText. Included in the analysis will be the following items:

Background Information/Environmental Scan

DuPont Identity

Current Ratio

Quick Ratio

Inventory Holding Period

Average Collection Period

Debt Ratio

Free Cash Flow

Market Value Added

Economic Value Added

Dividend Yield

Required Rate of Return based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model

After calculating the above items, the student will make a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold the company’s common stock at its current price. The recommendation should be based on the calculations required plus any other information about the company that the student believes pertinent.

In a separate section of the paper, the student will describe a situation in which his/her company would make use of capital budgeting. No calculations are required. This section of the paper would be about one to two pages describing the process that the company would make use of for analyzing the capital budgeting situation.

In a third section of the paper, the student should describe how the company would use cost-volume-profit analysis for one of its products. No calculations are necessary; just provide an explanation of how the process works. This section of the paper should be one to two pages.

Grading for the analysis will be based on the following:

Environmental Scan/Background

Ratio/Valuation Calculations and Conclusions

Capital Budgeting Discussion

Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis Discussion
