Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Ratio Analysis: Analyze and discuss the financial performance of Starbucks using financial ratios. Include your calculations and amounts in a table in the appendix of your paper. Be sure to show your calculation for each ratio.
A. Liquidity Ratios
1. Accurately present and calculate two liquidity ratios for Starbucks.
2. Discuss what the liquidity ratios reveal about Starbucks, including any description of benchmarks, standard measurements, or other types of analysis used once the ratio amount is known.
