As a financial statement analyst, select two organizations (1. Bank of America and 2. JP Morgan Chase) in the same industry and analyze their financial statements over time. The financial analysis period must be, at a minimum, the three most recent years. Since you will be spending a considerable amount of time on the project, ensure that you pick organizations that interest you.
The Form 10-K reports, which the organizations filed with the SEC, may be the best place to learn about a particular industry, organization, and organizational strategy, and to obtain reported financial statements. The reports are accessible at An alternative means to obtain the report is by clicking on the SEC filings link on an organization’s website to obtain the latest Form 10-K filings. You can also find current stock valuation and other relevant stock information from financial portals such as Yahoo finance, Google finance, and Reuters.
Your Portfolio Project must include the following for the two organizations (see below for more detail):
• Executive Summary
• Ratio Calculation
• Ratio Analysis
• Projected financial statements including income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows
• Your opinion on the overall financial health of each company
The executive summary should include an explanation of the business itself, background information on each company, including product lines, geographical locations and the company’s position in the industry.

• Working Capital
• Current Ratio
• Total Debt to Total Equity Ratio
• Times Interest Earned
• RNOA
• ROCE
The ratio analysis should include an explanation of the importance of each ratio, what the ratio tells you about each company, how the ratio changes from year to year, and which company appears better based on each ratio.
The Projected financial statements should be done in Excel and included with your submission. * You will need to make necessary adjustments for material non-recurring or unusual income or expenses as well as off-balance sheet assets or liabilities, among others as covered in the course. The adjustment will improve comparability and ensure accurate representation of the organization’s’ economic performance. Be sure to identify important assumptions regarding the companies, industry and business environment, and other important assumptions for estimates and forecasts, including their business strategies.
Your opinion of the overall financial health of the company should reflect everything you have learned throughout the course as to the analysis of financial reporting.

Determine and develop a COR work plan for the pharmacy flooring acquisition.

Instructions: As we have seen throughout the training, a COR’s responsibilities can be varied and complex. Surveillance of contractors, documentation, communication, and file maintenance are just a few of the COR’s many responsibilities. In order to track these responsibilities, developing a COR work plan is one of the essential COR tasks in managing the contract during the post-award phase, and it helps ensure that the COR is able to fulfill all duties and responsibilities.

There is no set format to follow in preparing a COR work plan. It can be simple or complex, but it must specify the performance outputs of the SOW and describe the methodology by which the government will conduct inspection and acceptance of the contractor’s performance, as required by the contract.

The work plan should be developed as soon as the COR is appointed and may be modified as needed throughout the acquisition process. A COR work plan serves as:
• A baseline for project management and scheduling
• Simple tool for tracking contract progress
• Following the plan to monitor contract performance and perform other delegated responsibilities

The COR work plan should indicate the level of commitment or amount of time and effort that will be necessary to monitor the contract to ensure successful performance. The COR determines the level of effort by considering general historical factors and the contractor’s performance history.

Directions: Using the COR Work Plan Best Practices, delegation letter, and QASP below, determine and develop a COR work plan for the pharmacy flooring acquisition. Remember to address:
• Administrative information
• Historical factors
• Monitoring techniques
• Documentation of performance
• Areas of concern or conflict

Calculate the payback period for the project

  1. A firm is considering an investment project that requires an initial outlay of RM10,000,000. The project is expected to provide net cash flows of RM6,500,000 in year 1, RM3,000,000 in year 2, RM3,000,000 in year 3 and RM1,000,000 in year
  2. Calculate the net present value (NPV) for the project if its cost of capital is 15%.
  3. Calculate the payback period for the project
  4. Why is NPV considered to be a superior method of evaluating the cash flows from a project?
  5. Although it is conceptually unsound, the payback period is very popular in business as a criterion for assigning priorities to investment projects. Why is it unsound and why is it popular?
