You want to develop a good understanding of the performance of a company in an industry of your interest by using specific financial ratios. For that, you will need to perform the following:
Two firms 1. Al Dar Properties 2. Rak Properties.
Collect the annual reports for the last two years of one firm.
Compute financial ratios for each firm based on the list in the second page (below).
Discuss the change in those ratios across the different years and the reasons for the observed changes.
For each year, compare between the companies.
Other Guidelines:
Introduction, will be presenting the companies, and what the paper will be discussing.
Search for any analyst reports covering the companies you have chosen so as to get additional information
Once you have the financial information in Excel format, calculate the financial ratios based on the formulas used in the book (however, any casual search in Google will give you plenty of information and examples of calculating financial ratios)
Check the financial ratios to make sure that you have calculated them correctly look at the results and ensure they are reasonable and feasible
Classify and present the calculated financial ratios in a proper and readable way
For each ratio you calculate, provide an analysis using both comments on its value and its interpretation. Compare your interpretation with that of similar ratios in the literature (textbook, internet, etc.)
Present the ratios in a proper table and provide table identification information
Compare the financial ratios of the same company between years and between companies properly.
Prepare a report that is clearly and concisely written.
Start with the main body of the text and leave the writing of the introduction and the conclusion towards the end of your work.
If you use external references, link the analysis/predictions of the references to your analysis and conclusions and make some comparison as to whether your findings confirm or not the literatures findings, if applicable.
Structure your report properly based on the literature formats and maintain a balance size and composition for each section in accordance with its importance.
