Internal financial information is not available to the public, so we have to rely on external information for our analysis. Review financial statements for two years. Use the same companies you selected in Module 2 for the SLP assignments in this course. Make a comparison of the following items and note trends.

  • Revenues
  • Cost of good sold
  • Accounts receivable
  • Accounts payable
  • Inventory

Keeping the case analysis in mind, discuss and interpret the changes over the two-year period. Which company is the best performer and why? How is this information useful to you from a managerial perspective? Explain your reasoning and support your conclusions with the numbers you have pulled out for the comparison above. Don't forget to comment on the interaction of the balance sheet and income statement.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Always include the name of the organization(s), time period covered, and source of information. It is important to answer the questions as posed. The document should be 2 to 4 pages and written in a clear and concise manner. Include tables as required. Support your discussion or tables with references in APA format. You are encouraged to use Excel or other compatible spreadsheet when computations are involved. You can turn in the spreadsheet instead of the Word document. The content should be equivalent to the page length suggested for a word processing document.

SLP 3: Please pay special attention to the analysis component. I will be looking for your understanding of the relationships between the 5 items you are required to compute.
