Note: Group Project Assignments 3 and 4 are worth a substantial portion of your Group Project grade; make sure to give these assignments your utmost attention. Ask questions if you are confused or if you need more help. Work as a team and make sure not to wait to the last minute. It is obvious when an assignment is rushed and it can greatly affect your grade. Project Managers should help coordinate in getting assignments started. Ensure all team members are using the same financial statements to ensure the accuracy of your ratios.

1. Cover Page

Include the names of students who participated in the completion of the assignment; do not include names of students who did not participate.

2. Using a spreadsheet such as Excel, compute the following ratios for your company’s three most recent years (calendar or fiscal, depending on your company). Show all results rounded to one decimal. All computations must be determined using Excel formulas. Typing computational results in a cell will result in zero points.

It may help your team organization to create a different sheet in the file for each group of ratios. Check that you are using the correct formulas from the book as using formulas found elsewhere online may result in variations that will cost you points. Refer to Chapter 13: pages 536-543 of the textbook or eBook.
