QUESTION

Class Project Part 1 Company Type of Business Name of Ticker Stock Symbol Exchange Headquarters Location/CEO Name Ralph Lauren Apparel, Accessories...

I have to do an accounting project based on the following scenario. I have a table labeled accounting part 1 that this scenario is based on. It is a table comparing the financial statements of the two companies, Ralph Lauren and Christian Dior. I have attached the table this project is based on. I need an accounting tutor to help me complete this assignment by April 11, 2017.Is there an available tutor who can help me get this done?

Scenario:

I have hired you as an investment analyst to help me make an investment decision. Working with the two companies you selected in Part I, analyze their latest annual reports and compare their financial performance. 

1.   What kind of opinion did the auditor give of each company’s financial statements? Quote the paragraph from the annual report that expresses that opinion.

2.   Identify two indicators, from those discussed in your textbook that you can use to compare the two companies’ performance. Use one of the ratios to compare the two companies’ profitability. The other should compare their liquidity or solvency. Explain and comment on the results.

You should only use financial ratios derived from the four main financial statements for your analysis. Don’t use market share, new product development announcements, or other non-financial announcements or disclosures. Don’t use non-financial information from the body of the annual report or non-GAAP measures. Make sure your data comes from the company’s original audited financial statements available on the company’s own website.

3.   Provide an investment recommendation (i.e. which is the better investment) for a conservative investor looking for an income-producing investment for their forthcoming retirement. Give the reasons for your recommendation.  (I need income. It’s too late for me to enjoy capital gains. Make sure you understand the difference.)

4.   Assess the recommended company’s Quality of Earnings as described in Chapter 10 of the Breitner text. Explain, in words understandable to a non-accountant, how you came to your assessment and what numbers you used. Identify any of the quality related “red flags?”

5.   From reading the company’s annual report, discuss the “Risk Factors” identified in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the report. (This section is sometimes called the “Financial Review” or a similar name. It’s where management discusses the company’s performance and usually comes before the financial statements.)

6.   Report the value today of a $100,000 investment, if we had invested in the stock of the recommended company, exactly one year ago.

There is no standard format for your report. Write it in the way you think a professional analyst would prepare it.
