Week 7 Project Submission: Final Paper
Note: I’ve included two sample companies for your perusal that will give you an idea of what a stronger than average analysis looks like. Feel free to emulate the look and flow of these papers (though it is not required to follow their exact look – just trying to provide some ideas!).
The purpose of this project is to demonstrate your grasp of the concepts you have learned throughout the course and your ability to analyze the financial standings and history of a company. You should be comfortable with choosing a company and:
Read and understand the five basic financial statements
Read and understand the financial components of an Annual Report
Know how to interpret and calculate key financial ratios
Evaluate and form an opinion on the value of a company
Evaluate and explain the risk/reward trade-off of investing in that company
For full instructions, see attached.
To save time, I highly recommend using VentureLine, I have attached the VentureLine file at the below.
- Write a professional, comprehensive financial analysis paper that meets the Week 7 assignment requirements.

In class, we will hold a final presentation where you will share your findings from your final paper with the class. Plan on a 5-10 minute presentation with up to 5 slides outlining your overall findings.
Your slides should follow this format using bullet points as prompts for your discussion.
