Comprehensive Analysis Project (CAP)
Overview of the Projecta.k.a. CAP
The final project asks you to:
1) Answer general "theory" questions regarding these two companies.
2) Utilize the Internet as resources to understand how to generate useful indicators in the areas of Profitability, Asset Management, Financial Risk, Liquidity, and Market Strength.
3) Perform calculations and analyses on the financial statement data given.
4) Evaluate the results from your calculations and analyses and form conclusions regarding your understanding of the companies compared.
5) Discuss this project with others in the class or work in self-created groups (for both online and traditional classes) to discuss the project where you can learn from each other but ultimately prepare you own individual analysis.
(The level of interaction between students is up to the individual student and while highly recommended, is not required.)
Learning Objectives
This case analysis has many important learning objectiveswhich are:
1) to provide a review of important concepts covered in this course as well as integrating the knowledge you have gained during the semester so that you can see the "big picture".
2) to expose you to alternative formats for financial statements as well as terminology that may not be "just like" the textbook.
3) to practice your communication skills (i.e., effective reading, listening, writing, speaking).
4) to improve/reinforce your interpersonal skills by providing experience in working with other students as a cooperative learning team (see #5 above).
5) to provide a foundation in understanding and using corporate financial statements that will be useful in your future college courses and professional career, as well as from a potential investor standpoint.
