Fundamentals of Value Creation in Business

LO: Evaluate firm performance through analysis of real-world financial accounting data.

Instructions

In this assignment, you are required to analyse the performance of a company based on the latest 5-year financial statements. The financial data is available on Morning Star (DatAnalysis) database.

Prior to starting the assessment, place yourself into a group of 4 people to complete the assessment.

To join a group, select this link People > Group or select the tab from the unit menu.

Separate groups for On Campus (Tues, Wed & Thurs seminars) and Online students, ensure that you select the correct one.

Detailed instructions

For the latest five-year period of your chosen company, assess the company's profitability, liquidity, and solvency. The table below summarises some of the relevant ratios for each ratio category.

This can be confirmed by looking at inventory turnover (in days) which is longer compared to its competitors or the industry average. In that case, it could mean the company has difficulties to attract customers, which can also explain why it provides a longer credit term (receivable turnover ratio in days).

In some cases, you will need to manually calculate other ratios to provide substantive reasons and discussions for the trend captured in a published ratio. For example, a steady increase in revenue over a five-year period can be explained by a rapid expansion of the company. However, revenue per store indicates a negative growth which can be detrimental for the company (as can be inferred from Dick Smith case). This revenue per store is a ratio that is not readily available and will need to be calculated manually, and it is dependent on the availability of the data. Some companies disclose the number of stores (outlets) they have in their annual reports.

Present your analyses as a professional report for a group of potential investors. Charts and tables are encouraged.
