discussion

in 250 words and on the company Walmart. 

You can make an inference from the ratios. By examining the trend in a  company's ratios from, say 2011 to 2012, you can see how the company is  doing.

For this discussion, do your own ratio analysis. For example, you can  calculate the current and quick ratios to find the state of a company's  liquidity. How is the net working capital? Is it good news? How is  inventory policy (research and use activity ratios)? How is the  leverage? Collectively, what do you see as the big picture?

In your initial post, share your conclusion about the two-year trend  of the company you chose for your course project and the reasons why you  came to that conclusion. You can list some ratios from the financial  statements to back up your thinking. Make sure you are clear on which  figures you are using from which year(s).
