Assignment: S&S Air, Inc. Ratio Analysis Case Study

Overview:

The concept and purpose of the mini-case studies is to place the student in a "work-type" environment.

This assumes that the student has been assigned a task (the mini case) by a high-level officer of the company (CEO, CFO, etc.).

The student (i.e., employee/analyst) is expected to prepare and present a response in a clean, clear form that is readily understandable with key points addressed and clear answers are displayed.

General Information and Format:

I. Case studies must be submitted in Excel on the date due, no exceptions will be permitted.

II. Name and date of the analyst must be clearly displayed, bottom right-hand of the page (Course and section as well).

III. No late submissions will be considered.

IV. All responses must be type-written, no handwritten material is permitted.

V. All calculations must be done in excel and presented in a "clear & concise" format

i. Assume this is a submission to an employer (e.g., CFO).

ii. Formatting with footnotes (if necessary) is highly important

VI. Accuracy, neatness, and clarity are critical to obtaining a full score.

VII. The complete package/submission should be 1 page only.

VIII. Points will be subtracted if the material does not meet these guidelines

Specific Input:

A. Table: Answer Question #1 on Page 95 in the book. That is, calculate the financial ratios listed in the table for S&S Air. Indicate - clearly - which ratios are good/positive, average/neutral and bad/negative.

B. Section/Paragraph 1: In a separate paragraph, comment on what you feel are the key ratios and why these are important - this should be very (!) brief.

C. Section/Paragraph 2: The Case Study mentions other aircraft manufacturers. Indicate which are good company comparisons for S&S and which ones are not good comparable companies. Also, briefly indicate why or why not these are good or bad comparisons.
