Course Project - Overview

For your Course Projectyou will assume the role of a financial analyst asked to evaluate three companies to decide which would be the best investment opportunity.You will use what you have learned about the financial statements, ratio analysis, and an understanding of what each account represents to make this decision.You will be using real financial statements, which are much longer and more detailed than what you have seen in your textbook.This project will take you past the numbers on the balance sheet and give you the opportunity to analyze what the relationship between the accounts tells financial statement users about companies' financial health.

In each module you will have a discussion question related specifically to the course project. Responding to that discussion question, as well as your peer's and instructor's posts, will help you build the content and the knowledge to write your final analysis paper.

In Module 5, you will be submitting a three page paper analyzing the financial strength of the three companies and discussing which company would be the most solid financial investment. You will answer questions about your analysis and then summarize your observations. Your paper must be in APA format, with correct in-text citations of quoted and paraphrased material with full citations on a references page at the end of your paper.
