Google and Microsoft are two major corporations that lead Internet technology and information retrieval. Both corporations list their financial information on their respective websites (www.google.com and www.microsoft.com) on their Investor Relations pages for easy access.

...traded company that you selected, indicating the significant factors driving your decision as a financial manager. As the financial manager, I have decided to recommend to my investor that they invest heavily in the stock of Apple Incorporated. There are several reasons why I am going to advise my investor to invest in Apple Incorporated. The first of these reasons that have caused me to recommend Apple as a good investment is because at the end of 2012 according to Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi Apple alone was (2012) “responsible for seventeen percent of the gains of the entire Standard and Poor’s Five hundred. The next reason for my recommendation of investment in Apple is because of its long-term performance over the previous ten years. Since 2002 Apple’s stock has soared some 7,800 percent verse 54 percent for the S&P Five hundred. (Birger, 2012) In my opinion this strength over the past ten years shows that this stock is a reliable investment now and will continue to be a reliable investment well into the future. Furthermore while in the past Apple has been considered specifically a growth stock, currently I would consider it not only a growth stock but also a value play. The reason for this consideration is because according to Birger (2012) it has seen a “66 percent earnings growth over the prior four quarters as well as a 1.8 percent yield and a price/earnings ratio of 13, lower than the S&P 500’s 16 P/E”. All of these reasons show that even though Apple’s...

...In order to make proper and informed decisions they must understand the financial information reported by companies. This report will be looking at two companies, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola and addressing their current ratios. We will discuss the best company to invest in based on the ratios described. Other non-financial elements that may help investors make a decision will also be discussed. Current ratios describe the relationship between the current assets and their liquidity and the current liabilities a company holds (Loth, R., 2010). This ratio is used as a way to evaluate a company’s ability to pay their current debt (their liabilities). In calculating the current ratio, the current assets are divided by the total current liabilities. Another name for the current ratio is Cash ratio. The Cash ratio states the purpose of the ratio; and many investors and lenders look at the current ratio in order to make financial decisions. PepsiCo’s current assets are $12,571, their current liabilities are $8,756, leaving them with a ratio of 1.436 (PepsiCo.,(2009). Coca-Cola’s current assets are $5,170 and their current liabilities are $4,588, leaving them with a ratio of 1.127 (Coca-Cola Enterprises, 2009). PepsiCo’s ratio is well above 1, which indicates that they are more than capable of paying short term debt. According to Kurtz (2010), a ratio of 2:1 is satisfactory, although a ratio of a company must be compared to the industry to get a feel for how the company...

... 3144417 Microsoft Trend and Comparative Financial Analysis Liquidity Microsoft’s liquidity ratios depict that the company’s performance is aligned to meet its current obligations. The company has a Current Ratio of 2.50 which is on par with the industry average. This measure signifies that the company is operating at the same level as its competitors at maintaining short-term solvency. With regards to its Quick Ratio, Microsoft is currently showing a lower ratio than the industry average of 3.35. This lower ratio (2.45) is due to the increase in the company’s inventory during Q4. This increase can be attributed to the company anticipating a rise in sales for the Q1 and Q2 holiday season. Looking at Microsoft’s Q2 and Q3 quick ratio (3.17 and 3.22 respectively), it is evident that the company is performing at a level equivalent to its competitors in the industry. Asset Utilization Microsoft’s Asset Management Ratio’s predict that the company is not effectively and efficiently utilizing its assets. There is a large variance between the Fixed Asset Turnover ratio between Microsoft and the industry average. Microsoft Corp.'s inventory turnover deteriorated from Q2 2014 to Q3 2014 and from Q3 2014 to Q4 2014. The company is currently holding more in Fixed Assets than other competitors driving its ratio down to 3.12 (industry at 6.13). Holding a larger number of Fixed Assets can become detrimental to Microsoft...

...losses continue to mount as airlines face increased security costs and lagging passenger counts. Investors are wary about the industry as financially strapped companies struggling to stay afloat by reducing the number of flights and value-added services, streamlining operating costs, laying-off thousands of employees, and restructuring debt labor force. Many companies have had to seek loans to meet operational expenses, resulting in the total debt load of the industry surging from $55 billion to $90 billion since 1999, towering nine times over equity. Several airlines have or are on the brink of filing bankruptcy protection. This paper examines the annual statements of three companies from the perspective of an investor and employs financial statement analyses as the basis for a recommendation of the most favorable investment choice. Company Background Continental Airlines Founded in 1934, Continental Airlines (Hawaiian) is the fifth largest U.S. airline, operating in its New York, Houston and Cleveland hubs.

...Benchmarking Analysis of PepsiCo MGT 521 December 3, 2012 Watler Goodwyn Benchmarking Analysis of PepsiCo It is hard to tell what company to invest in until a person starts calculating their financial ratios. A company may have high revenues; however, that does not mean that they are fiscally responsible for those revenues. I was surprised to notice that just because the company may do good on the current ratio or earnings ratios that does not necessarily mean that they are financially stable. A person cannot look at one or even a few ratios to determine if a company is financially sound. Many ratios have are pulled to determine the financial stability of the company. I used a variety of ratios to use for analysis. I pulled a Current Ratio, Acid Ratio, Debt Ratio, Return on Sales, Return on Equity, Inventory Ratio, Cash Conversion Cycle and Net Income Per Share on the companies of Pepsi Co, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and Mondelez International. Because the company I had selected to analyze was PepsiCo, I know that I needed to diversify the companies I selected between food and beverage because the company covers both markets. Coca Cola is the top beverage distributor in the world, Pepsi Co is second and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group is the third. Mondelez International is a food company that is a recent spin-off from Kraft Foods. It has some familiar name brands of Nabisco...
