Applying Ratio Analysis

Review Deuteronomy 25: 13 – 16 and consider what questions you will ask the executive team at Warehouse Distribution, Inc to determine if they operate their company with biblical principles. Feel free to consider other passages of scripture in developing your questions.
Download and read the Mini-Case Warehouse Distribution, Inc. (in the Resources area) and develop a PowerPoint presentation for your board of trustees that answers the following questions:
Using what you learned in this chapter and Chapter Three, prepare a financial analysis of Warehouse Distribution, Inc., comparing the firm’s financial performance between the two years. In addition to the financial information included in the case, the company’s chief financial officer, Mike Smith, has estimated the company’s average cost of capital for all its financing to be 10.5%.
Based on your analysis would you recommend doing business with Warehouse Distribution, Inc., based on their financial strength? Support your recommendation because the board will want to know why?
What three questions will you ask the executive leaders of Warehouse Distribution, Inc. to evaluate whether or not they operate the company based on biblical principles?
What answers would give you confidence that they do operate Warehouse Distribution on biblical principles?
Your presentation should include:
Introduction and conclusion slides with 10-15 body slides.
The presentation should follow a logical and coherent sequence with a strong introduction, clear progression of ideas and thoughts, and an effective conclusion.
The results of your ratio analysis.
The ratio analysis should be done in Microsoft Excel. You can either do the work in a separate Excel file and copy and paste your ratio analysis into PowerPoint or insert a spreadsheet into the slides that show your analysis.
The three questions you asked the leaders of Warehouse Distribution, Inc., to determine whether or not they operate the business based on biblical principles and the answer you hoped to receive. The question and answer should be on the same slide so you will have three slides for this portion of the presentation.
Any comments in the notes section of each slide necessary to understand the content of the slide.
