Make sure you download the Formula sheet (PDF 167 KB) for this unit's assignments. Assignment overview This individual assignment requires the analysis of the financial position and performance of the assigned companies for two financial years (2016 and 2017). In this scenario, you are a financial analyst working for Elite Banking Corporation. You need to determine whether the companies are eligible for a loan from the bank. This involves answering the following 5 questions in your own words (i.e. do not simply 'cut and paste' information from the Annual report or another source). You must apply critical thinking concepts when explaining and justifying your choices. Assignment details Step 1: How to access the data: 1. Go to e-resources on WSU Library and from the alphabetical list click on 'D' and then pick DatAnalysis Premium database. Once you are in the database go to the search engine on the top right and enter each of the following company's ASX code: · Capilano Honey Limited (ASX code: CZZ) · Select Harvests Limited (ASX code: SHV) For each company, the displayed page summarises general information about the company including the sector and industry in which it operates, total market capitalisation of the firm, latest closing share price, etc. Both firms are operating in the same sector and industry group (food, beverage & tobacco) and same industry (food products). 2. On the left hand side, click 'Financial Data'. The displayed page shows annual and interim information for your assigned company (in the view bar, make sure you choose annual and not interim data). On the page's control bar at the topic, you will see the first three icons which displays the company's summarised annual financial statements (income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement). Additional information, such as the number of shares outstanding at end of period is also given in these statements for different years. 3. The figures shown on the 'Financial Data' page are rounded figures and are not to be used in the calculation of ratios. To access the raw figures, select the relevant time period from the ‘year range’ drop down bars, and click on ‘go’. Once the figures appear, click on download spreadsheet. This will download an Excel file that contains all the relevant financial statements i.e. Profit & Loss Statement, Balance Sheet, etc. 4. In the downloaded Excel file, you will see a sheet titled 'Revenue Expense' in which you can locate the Cost of goods sold (COGS) for each company for the different years. For some companies, the COGS is the 'Materials and other input costs'.  5. For more detailed information about how to obtain the data required for your individual assignment, please watch the 'How to obtain data for the individual assignment' video'. Step 2: The five (5) questions you must answer Based on the information you obtained for your assignment company answer all of the following questions.  Question 1: Analyse the sources of finance for each of the two companies in 2017 as compared to 2016. Use two capital structure ratios to support your answer and provide an explanation regarding the changes in the composition of the sources of finance for each enterprise. Note: ensure that you analyse in this question, not just describe the ratio values. (10%) Question 2: For each of the two companies, analyse their ability to successfully manage their operating and total expenses in 2017 as compared to 2016. Use two margin ratios to support your answer and explain any change in the ability of each company to control costs. Note: ensure that you analyse in this question, not just describe the ratio values. (15%) Question 3: Analyse the ability of management to manage their total assets for each of the two companies in 2017 as compared to 2016. Use one Asset Management efficiency ratio to support your answer and explain any change in each companies’ ability to use their total assets to generate sales. Note: ensure that you analyse in this question, not just describe the ratio values. (10%) Question 4: Analyse the profitability of invested capital for each of the two companies in 2017 as compared to 2016. Based on your calculations and your answers to questions 2 and 3, explain the main reason(s) for the change in the profitability for each company over the two years. Note: ensure that you analyse in this question, not just describe the ratio values. (15%) Question 5: Given your answers and analysis in questions 1 to 4, what is your final recommendation: an approval or denial of the loan to each and/or both firms? Discuss the basis for your recommendation. (20%) Please note 1. Ratios must be selected from those identified in your prescribed eText (Bakry 2016). The use of ratios other than those identified in the textbook and discussed in class will not gain any marks.  Include all supporting calculations for any values shown in Questions 1 to 3 in the Appendix. This is not included in the word count. Note: Marks will not be awarded if no supporting ratio calculations are shown in the Appendix. 2. In questions 1-4, an analysis is required and not just a description of the ratio. That means you need to explain how the ratio changed over time and the main reason(s) responsible for that change, and how that will impact your company’s financial position. 3. In calculating the ratios, 'Operating Revenue' located in the profit and loss statement (Income Statement) is the 'Sales Revenue'. 4. In calculating the ratios, ignore abnormals. You should only use figures before abnormals such as ‘Net profit after tax before abnormals’. 5. Ratios calculated by the Morningstar analyst and available in the database are not to be used as guidance for calculating your ratios. The analyst calculated some of the ratios using formulas different than the one covered in this unit. 6. The assignment does not require the obtainment of industry/peer group averages for any of the calculated ratios. The objective of the assignment is to compare each of the two companies’ financial performance over the specified two-year period. 7. Reference List Includes any references you have used and cited. Make sure all answers are fully referenced using the Harvard referencing system and include a reference list at the end of your assignment (for guidelines on using the Harvard referencing system see Harvard WesternSydU (PDF 2.4 MB). Note: the reference list is not included in the word count Assignment criteria 1. Critical use and integration of evidence 2. Use correct financial tools to decribe the problem and addresses the requirements of questions 1-4 3. Addresses the requirements of question 5 and CLO 3.1 4. Correctly using Harvard Western Sydney referencing style 5. Uses a professional level of English
