Week 2 Discussion

• Using the same company and annual reports that you chose in your week 1 (the company is APPLE) 

• Calculate the gross profit ratio, operating margin ratio, and net income margin ratio for the latest two years, and obtain the industry average ratios (if available). You may use the Mergent Online database, or another outside resource of your choice.
• Analyze these ratios and discuss what each of these ratios tells you about the company’s profitability, and how it compares to the industry averages.
• Note any trends in these ratios from year-to-year, and discuss your assessment of the company based on these changes.
• If you were an investor, explain why you would or would not buy stock in the company.

Your response should be a minimum of 200 words
