Part 1
It is now time to work on your final draft, summarizing the
findings and analysis that you conducted over the past few
weeks. Your report should include the following:
A comprehensive summary of the firm that you chose to study
and your initial assessment you conducted in Phase 1 before you
conducted your formal financial analysis.
A summary of your findings after you conducted your financial
ratio analysis in Phase 2, including any major concerns or
findings that you encountered while conducting the analysis.
A summary of your findings after you prepared the firm's pro
forma statements and what you learned about the firm while
performing this task.
Part 2
Using the company's financial statements, calculate and
evaluate the firm’s sustainable growth rate (SGR) for the last 2–
3 years, and summarize your findings in your paper. Be sure to
address the following:
What are the sustainable growth rates for your subject company
over the period that you studied?
How do they compare with the actual growth rates that the
company experienced over the period studied?
What are the consequences faced by firms that grow at a rate
that is not consistent with their sustainable rate?
If the firm grew at a rate above or below the SGR, how did it
finance its excessive growth or reward its stockholders for the
underperformance?
Based on your analysis, do you believe the firm's growth
strategy is sound and maximizes the value of the firm with
reasonable levels of risk?
Be sure to document your statements with credible sources, in-
text citations, and references using proper APA format.
