The Final Project will involve applying the concepts learned in class to an analysis of a company using data from its annual report. Using the concepts from this course, you will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the company and write a report either recommending or not recommending purchase of the company stock.

The completed report should include:

An introduction to the company, including background information.
A complete and thorough financial statement review.
Pro Forma financial statements (Balance Sheet and Income Statement) for the next two fiscal years, assuming a 10% growth rate in sales and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for each of the next two years.
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
d. Profitability
e. Market value

Calculate Return on Equity (ROE) using the DuPont system.
Assess management performance by calculating Economic Value Added (EVA).
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. Be sure to include links to websites that were used as references or to access company information. Include in cite quotations

The simulation does not work so instead make assumptions about information that might have been provided in the simulation and follow the instructions for the assignment as best you can.

Review the following scenario:

 

Acting as the CEO of a small company called Sunflower Nutraceuticals (SNC), you will apply the principles of capital budgeting to invest in growth and cash flow improvement opportunities in three phases over 10 simulated years. Each opportunity has a unique financial profile and you must analyze the effects on working capital. Examples of opportunities include taking on new customers, capitalizing on supplier discounts, and reducing inventory.

 

You must understand how the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows are interconnected and be able to analyze forecasted financial information to consider possible effects of each opportunity on the firm’s financial position. The company operates on thin margins with a constrained cash position and limited available credit. You must optimize use of internal and external credit as you balance the desire for growth with the need for maintaining liquidity.

 

Sign-in to the simulation and review each of the following:

 

• Welcome Statement
• How to Play
• Terminology Primer
• More Details (this includes information to help you understand how to play the simulation)

 

Write a paper of no more than 1,400 words that analyzes your decisions during each phase (1-3) and how they influenced each of the following final outcomes (metrics) of SNC:

 

• Sales
• EBIT
• Net Income
• Free Cash Flow
• Total Firm Value

 

Address the following in your paper:

 

• A summary of your decisions and why you made them
• How they affected SNC’s working capital
• What general effects are associated with limited access to financing

 

Include scholarly references (in addition to your course textbook and simulation materials) to support your positions.

 

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

 

The simulation is not working so what the professor wants is for me to make up my own scenario based on the information provided in the instructions. From there I should  talk about phase 1, 2, and 3 and make up a situation with regards to the action in the phase. Then I will discuss how what I did would have had impact on sales, EBIT, etc
