Complete ratio analysis for the last fiscal year using at least two ratios from each of the following categories:

a. Liquidity

b. Financial leverage

c. Asset management

Review of the soundness of the company's financial policies (e.g. capital structure, debt, leverage, dividend policy, etc.) based on the material covered during class.

A synopsis of your findings, including your recommendations and rationale for whether or not to purchase stock from this company.

This report should be 15 - 20 pages long excluding title page and reference page(s) using APA 6th edition formatting guidelines. Support your findings and recommendations with evidence from at least five scholarly sources in addition to the annual report; such as the textbook, industry reports, and articles from the Ashford library.
