Final Project Guidelines
1. Do a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the two companies and their industry you have been tracking throughout the course. For, example Coors and Anheuser Busch in the Beverage – Alcoholic industry.
o Quantitative analysis – your analysis must include the following financial ratios: quick ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, long-term-debt-to-equity ratio, inventory turnover, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, gross profit margin, operating profit margin, net profit margin, return on stockholders’ equity (ROE), earnings per share (EPS), price-earnings (P/E). Annual percentage growth trends (most recent five years) for sales, net income, and earnings per share, must also be included. (Note: A quick review of financial ratios can be found in section 1.5 Financial Ratios)
o Qualitative analysis – your analysis must include information gathered from published reports (e.g., Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Money Magazine, Internet sites (e.g., Yahoo!), television (e.g., Financial News Network) and any other sources that include market analysts’ opinions regarding the companies and their industry.
2. Determine which company you would recommend as the better investment for an investor whose objective is long-term capital growth.
3. Take a look at the other student’s projects to see if there is an another investment you might be interested in, or to see if they included some information your did not.
