Calculate Financial Ratios (AMAZON)

  • For the company you chose in the previous unit’s assignment ( AMAZON) , evaluate
    its health based on its financial statements (which you may download
    from the company’s 10-K Annual Report in EDGAR or the company’s
    website).
  • Compute the company’s current ratio, its debt
    ratio, its net profit margin, and two other ratios you deem relevant to
    the understanding of the company as a whole. Calculations should be for a minimum of two consecutive fiscal years.
  • Compare these ratios to industry standard
    calculations. Also, try to identify major changes in the ratios and the
    company’s balance sheet and income statement from one year to the next
    to identify trends in the company’s health. Is it improving or
    deteriorating over time? Briefly comment (in approximately 250 words) on
    your assessment of the health of the company given its ratios and the
    changes in its financial statements over time.
  • Include a minimum of two sources, which may consist
    of readings from the University Library, your text, and other
    selections, and which should include the company’s 10-K Annual Report.
