Business Finance Homework Help

Header (required on slide 1 only): “Corporation Name followed by Your Name”

·Slides 1: Present, horizontally, the following ratios for the most current three years:

> Use ratio formula provided in week #2

>> Profit Margin on Sales

>> Return on Assets

>> Free Cash Flow (version a)

> Use ratio formula provided for Statement of Cash Flows in Susan Crosson’s video #9 found in week #5. I will recap the formula here as well.

>> Cash Flow Yield = CF from Ops / NI

>> Cash Flow to Sales = CF from Ops / Sales

>>> in this case use Net Sales if provided or Sales if not a net value provided

>> Cash Flow to Assets = CF from Ops / Average Total Assets

>> Free Cash Flow = CF from Ops – Dividends – Net Plant Assets Purchased (version b)

>>> in this case Net Plant Assets Purchased will be the same as Net Capital Investments

·Slides 2: 

> Identify and provide a brief written review one (and only one) pattern that you observe regarding profitability as related to cash flows. (It is your choice and you may pick any of the cash flow sections when discussing your observation.)

> Discuss (again briefly – use bullet style presentation) any differences you observe between the Free Cash Flow results in the two different formula used. Identify what (if any) major items caused the difference.

·Slide 3: The bibliographic information must be on the last of the three slides.
