Through research on the Internet write a 1000 word paper (not to exceed 1500 words) on this company’s history, products, accounting practices, and financial health. Make sure to clearly label each section: HISTORY, PRODUCTS, ACCOUNTING PRACTICES, and FINANCIAL HEALTH. The four sections are self-explanatory with the exception of ACCOUNTING PRACTICES-in this section I want you to take various accounting concepts we have covered in the course and write about how these concepts relate to your company-pick concepts that interest YOU.
It's important to download a copy of your company's annual report to review as a starting point for your analysis. Make sure to include the annual report in your bibliography.
The 1000 word minimum must be comprised of only your original writing/thoughts (footnoted material is not to be included in the word count). Make sure to:
title your post with the name of your company followed by its ticker symbol, its most recent closing price, the words "BUY" or "DON'T BUY" to convey your stock purchase recommendation, and the word count
in the FINANCIAL HEALTH section of the paper include: a general overall picture of the company's financial situation, calculations and discussion of two financial ratios, and a specific recommendation/state your opinion as to whether it would be a wise company to invest in and why
use your original thoughts and opinions to formulate the analysis-DO NOT PLAGIARIZE;
thoroughly read the instructions to ensure you are following the specific criteria.
