Internal Analysis on Apple

The goal of the internal analysis is to perform an honest assessment of the organization's competency, cost position, and competitive viability in the global marketplace.

Part 1: At the industry level, you must first identify the financial ratios that are most important to evaluate. What is the industry-average performance for each financial ratio? What is the state of the industry? What are the deficits and what are the advantages the industry has today and potentially in the future?

Part 2: For the second part of the analysis, you will select a company that falls within the industry you are evaluating. With the financial ratios you previously identified for the industry, identify the ratio performance of the selected company and compare them to the industry ratio performance. Is the company performing above or below the industry average? What do the financial ratios tell you about the organization's sustainability?
