Case Study
Company Profile
This is your opportunity to play detective and do some financial statement analysis. Please select any publicly traded company. The CSU Online Library has several databases to choose from that are good starting points for your research:
• Mergent Online
• Business Insights
• Business Source Complete
• ABI/INFORM Collection
Choose a publicly traded company that issues bonds and locate the annual report with the financial ratio information. You can locate this information by reviewing your chosen company’s annual report online; www.annualreports.com is a good place to start, as well as the Mergent Online database.
In your case study:
1. Provide a brief introduction of the company, including its name, headquarters, products/services offered, and approximate net worth.
2. Explain how the company is doing with respect to the ratios. Consider debt-to-equity, return on equity, current and quick ratio, working capital ratio, price earnings ratio, and the earnings Per Share.
3. What are the key features of one of the bonds issued by your chosen company? Discuss how the bond’s terms and collateral can affect the bond’s interest rate.
4. Explain how a potential investor would determine the value and risk of the bond.
5. Explain the concept of the time value of money as it applies to the company’s bond offerings.
Your case study should be at least one page in length and in APA format. Cite and reference all quoted and paraphrased material, including your textbook. Use a minimum of two sources, one of which may be the textbook. Include a title page, reference page, and running head. An abstract is not required.
