For this assignment, you will complete the Financial Overview component of your course project. To complete this assignment, use the Financial Analysis Toolkit Excel file, provided in the Resources, to complete a financial analysis of your chosen company (Apple Inc,) over the last two most recent years available in annual reports. Replace the numbers provided in the Excel file with the appropriate numbers for your firm. Then, write a 2–3 page financial analysis of your company, addressing the following elements:

  • Identify your company, its industry, and analyze the important segments (percentage of sales or subsidiaries) of your company compared to its industry and its overall business.
  • Perform a complete financial analysis of your chosen company's financial statements—horizontal, vertical (Percentage of Sales and Common-Size), and changes in ratios—for the last two years.
  • Compare all ratios to industry averages. Evaluate the company's ratios against the industry averages.
  • Explain the significance of the company's ratios when compared to industry averages.
  • Analyze the company's cash flows.
  • Assess the overall financial health of your company based on this financial analysis.

A great way to integrate your completed calculations from your Excel sheet into your written analysis is to paste pieces of the worksheet directly into your Word document. You are also encouraged to create graphs or charts from the data that may illustrate your analyses as well.

       
         
Tool Kit for Analysis of Financial Statements    
         
Financial statements are analyzed by calculating certain key ratios and then comparing them with the ratios of other firms and by examining the trends in ratios over time.  We can also combine ratios to make the analysis more revealing, those indicated below are exceptionally useful for this type of analysis.

TREND ANALYSIS, COMMON SIZE ANALYSIS, AND PERCENT CHANGE ANALYSIS (Section 3.7)   
         
TREND ANALYSIS        
Trend analysis allows you to see how a firm's results are changing over time.  For instance, a firm's ROE may be slightly below the benchmark, but if it has been steadily rising over the past four years, that should be seen as a good sign. 
         
A trend analysis and graph have been constructed on this data regarding Nvidia's ROE over the past 5 years.  (Nvidia and indusry average data for earlier years has been provided.)
