FIN 320 Module Four Excel Assignment Rubric
This assignment builds on the work you did for the Excel
assignment in Module Three. To get started, find and open the

76. file you submitted. From there,
complete the following steps:
1. Financial Data
Using the same company you selected in Module Three, add
another two years of financial statement data so that you have
three years of annual data
to review for historical analysis. In all, your Excel file must
include the following:
o Three worksheets of annual balance sheet data
o Three worksheets of annual income statement data
o Three worksheets of annual statement of cash flow data
Important Note: Be sure to label each worksheet in Excel with
the appropriate year, as you did in the Module Three
assignment.
2. Ratio Calculation
On each data tab, use formulas to calculate the following
financial indicators for each year of data:
o Current ratio
o Debt/equity ratio
o Free cash flow
o Earnings per share
o Price/earnings ratio
o Return on equity
o Net profit margin

77. 3. Written Responses
In a separate Word document, respond to the following:
o Describe how and why each of the ratios has changed over the
three-year period. For example, did the current ratio increase or
decrease? Why?
Describe how three of the ratios you calculated for your
company compare to the general industry. Find general industry
data by entering your specific
company’s ticker symbol here. Be sure to watch the Mergent
Online video (written instructions can be found here), as it will
help you find the industry data.
4. Professionalism, References, and Mechanics
Format the data on all worksheets so that the file has a neat and
professional appearance. Include links and properly formatted
citations referencing the
location of the data used. Your written responses should be free
of errors in organization, grammar, and style.
