Which company’s stock is the better investment? Consider supporting your answer with data.

For this part of the final project, you will be given a scenario in which you are asked to illustrate your financial computation and analysis skills.
This part of the assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
 Compute financial ratios, time value, variables, and returns using industry standard tools for optimizing financial success
 Analyze corporate financial data for multiple companies in evaluating past and future financial performances
Part II Prompt
For this section of your employment exam, you will select two companies. The first company needs to come from your TDAU thinkorswim portfolio. The second
needs to be a competitor of the first company from the same industry. You will be responsible for collecting, synthesizing, and making decisions regarding both
companies. After evaluating these companies’ financial data, you will then decide which company’s stock is the better investment.
This section of your employment examination must be submitted in two parts. Part A will contain the workbooks that house all of your quantitative data and
formulas, along with any of the information that is relevant for your chosen companies. Part B will contain your answers to the questions asked below,
composed in a cohesive manner. If you are referring to data that is found within the workbooks in Part A, be sure to include a citation—for example, “rate of
return is 3.570 USD (E64, WB2),” where E64 is the cell that the calculation took place in and WB2 is designating “workbook 2.” This ensures that your instructor
can quickly and accurately check data entry, formula use, and financial calculations.
Your submission must address the following critical elements:
I. Preparing the Workbooks
A. Download the annual income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements for the last three completed fiscal years for your chosen
companies. This information must be included in your final submission.
B. Prepare a worksheet for each of the companies to display their financial data for the last three fiscal years. Ensure your data is accurate and
organized. Include these worksheets as a workbook in your final submission.
C. Find historical stock prices for both companies and add this information to the respective spreadsheets. Consider the appropriate date range
you should use.
II. Three-Year Returns
A. What is the three-year return on the stock price of the first company (Company A)? How is the stock performing? Ensure that you use the
appropriate formula in your spreadsheets to calculate the three-year return on the given company’s stock price.
B. What is the three-year return on the stock price of the second company (Company B)? How is this stock performing? Ensure that you use the
appropriate formula in your spreadsheets to calculate the three-year return on your chosen company’s stock price.
C. How do these two stocks compare in terms of three-year returns? What does this indicate about these two companies?
III. Financial Calculations
A. Using the appropriate spreadsheets, which are to be included in the workbooks, calculate the price-to-earnings ratio for the last three fiscal
years of the given and your chosen companies. Be sure that you are entering and using the correct formula.
B. Using the appropriate spreadsheets, which are to be included in the workbooks, calculate the debt-to-equity ratios for the last three fiscal years
of the given and your chosen companies. Be sure that you are entering and using the correct formula.
C. Using the appropriate spreadsheets, which are to be included in the workbooks, calculate the return-on-equity ratios for the last three fiscal
years of the given and your chosen companies. Be sure that you are entering and using the correct formula.
D. Using the appropriate spreadsheets, which are to be included in the workbooks, calculate the earnings per share for the last three fiscal years of
the given and your chosen companies. Be sure that you are entering and using the correct formula.
E. Using the appropriate spreadsheets, which are to be included in the workbooks, calculate the profit margins for the last three fiscal years of the
given and your chosen companies. Be sure that you are entering and using the correct formula.
F. Using the appropriate spreadsheets, which are to be included in the workbooks, calculate the free cash flows for the last three fiscal years of the
given and your chosen companies. Be sure that you are entering and using the correct formula.
IV. Industry Averages
A. Obtain past and current industry averages of three of the financial calculations above for both companies and add this information to your
spreadsheet for comparison. Ensure the accuracy and organization of your data.
B. In this context, how is each company’s financial health? How do these two companies compare to one another? Consider the appropriate date
range you should use.
V. Performance Over Time
A. Analyze the performance of the Company A over time. What financial strengths and weaknesses does this company have? Consider addressing
the free cash flows and ratios you calculated earlier.
B. Analyze the performance of your Company B over time. What financial strengths and weaknesses does this company have? Consider addressing
the free cash flows and ratios you calculated earlier.
C. Analyze how the data differ between these two companies. Why do you think this is? Consider addressing the free cash flows and ratios you
calculated earlier.
VI. Investment
A. Are the companies considered growth or value companies? Why?

Discuss the difference between Bloom’s taxonomic levels of analysis and synthesis, and discuss some strategies that can be used to assist in summarizing and drawing conclusions across the multiple studies.

Here’s an example of how the paragraph should look like:

M) Secondly, the modern nave theories tend to make inferences from a variety of sample populations. (E) It should be noted that the Darwinian scientific theory concluded that human evolution was a process of natural selection (Kampourakis, & Minelli, 2014). (A) However, the modern nave theories sort to generate a contemporary reasoning which appeared inconsistent with the natural selection inference that was made by the scientific theory. (L) In other words, the modern nave theory appears to conceptualize human evolution as a process of differentiation that is influenced by the environment (Kampourakis, K., & Minelli, 2014).

What are the implications associated with these alterations to the ecosystem as a whole?

For each assignment, you will use the M.U.S.E. link to complete the lab.

In this lab, you will determine how an invasive speciesthe zebra and quagga musselaffects other species in the freshwater lake. Use the animation to help you come up with an answer to the following:

Why do you see increases and decreases in the invasive species population?
What are the implications associated with these alterations to the ecosystem as a whole?
The Effects of Zebra and Quagga Mussels Introduced into a Freshwater Lake

As you have learned, population dynamics are caused by the biotic potential of the population and the effects of environmental resistance. When there is minimal environmental resistance impacting a population, it will exhibit a population explosion. One reason for minimal resistance could be factors that no longer regulate a population (e.g., predator decline or resource increases). Another reason for a population explosion is the introduction of an invasive species. Invasive species are species foreign to an ecosystem and are not immediately regulated by the environmental restraints of the particular ecosystem that they invade. This in turn allows their populations to grow seemingly uncontrolled and to displace other indigenous populations. Examples of such an invasive species into North America are dreissenid mussels, commonly known as zebra and quagga mussels. Their introduction into the Great Lakes has caused economic hardship and a reorganization of the ecosystem. This has led, in part, to pollution-causing effects that can be linked to an alga known as Cladophora.

Ecosystems are webs of intricately balanced interactions. But what happens when a new species is introduced that uses a disproportionate share of the ecosystems resources?

Using the M.U.S.E. link, review the background information and animation to complete your report.
