To compare the financial position of the two companies. Scope of the report: 1. Studying the pros and cons of the financial statements of a company, it is possible to predict the probable future growth of a company Methodology: Data were collected from Annual Reports of Square Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and Renata Pharmaceuticals Ltd. from the year 2003 to 2008. Three types of financial tools were used to analyze the data which are: 1. Horizontal Analysis 2. Vertical Analysis and 3. Ratio Analysis. LITERATURE REVIEW: Financial Analysis: The art of transforming data from financial statements into information that is useful for informed decision making is financial analysis. Financial analysis involves the use of various financial statements. These statements do several things. First the balance sheet summarizes the assets, liabilities and owners’ equity of a business at a moment in time usually the end of a year or a quarter. Next the income statement summarizes the revenue and expenses of the firm over a particular period of time, again usually a year or a quarter. Need for Comparative Analysis: Every item reported in a financial statement has significance. We know a company had a certain amount of cash on the balance sheet but we do not know whether the amount represents an increase over prior year...

...area in square feet of a house. Assume that the house has a maximum of four rooms, and that each room is rectangular. Program Description The purpose of this program is to calculate the usable area (square feet) of a four room house. Analysis To calculate the usable area in square feet in the house I would first need to identify the inputs and outputs. I know the house has a maximum of 4 rooms that are rectangular in shape, this is my input. Using the area formula (L x W) I can determine the square feet for each room. Adding the square feet for each room will provide the amount of usable area in square feet of the house and my output for this program. Test Plan Test Case # | Input | Expected Output | Results | 1 | Room 1: length = 16, width = 14Room 2 length = 13, width = 13Room 3: length = 10, width = 11 | 503 square feet | Pass | 2 | Room 1: length = 12, width = 16Room 2 length = 11, width = 14Room 3: length = 10, width = 11 | 456 square feet | Pass | 3 | Room 1: length = 12, width = 12Room 2 length = 12, width = 11Room 3: length = 11, width = 10 | 386 square feet | Pass | Pseudocode //This program will calculate the usable area in square feet of a four room house //Declare WidthRoom1, LengthRoom1 As Float // Declare WidthRoom2, LengthRoom2 As Float //Declare WidthRoom3, LengthRoom3 As Float //Declare WidthRoom4, LengthRoom4 As Float //Declare TotalHouseSquareFeet As Float Write “This program will help you calculate the usable area in square feet...

The action is conditionally executed because it is performed only when a certain condition is true. 2. Using the IF statement will be the way to go because it is a dual alternative decision structure. 3. The case structure would be the most straightforward to use. 4. The and operator takes two Boolean expressions as operands and creates a compound Boolean expression that is true only when both sub-expressions are true. 5. The OR operator takes two Boolean expressions as operands and create a compound Boolean expression that is true when either of the sub-expressions are true. 6. The And operator 7. A flag is a Boolean variable that signals when some conditions exists in the program. Algorithm Workbench 1. If x is > 100 y=20 z=40 End IF 2. If a is < 10 then b=0 c=1 End If 3.
