Evaluation of Corporate Performance
For the Final Paper, you will apply the concepts learned in class to an analysis
of a company using data from its annual report. Using the concepts from this
course, you will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the company. You will
then write a report either recommending or not recommending purchase of the
company stock.
Research Tip: The Mergent database in the Ashford University Library contains
company profiles and financial information for publicly traded companies and
their competitors. To access this database, enter the Ashford University Library
by clicking the “Library” link on the left navigation bar in your online course.
Once you are in the Library, select “Find Articles and More” in the top menu
panel. Next, select “Databases A-Z” and go to section M to access the Mergent
database. For help with using Mergent, use “Mergent Online Quick Tips.”

e. Calculate return on equity (ROE) using the DuPont system.
