Question
Using the financial statements for HealthSouth Corp for the quarter ending 6/30/2002, or use the current financial statements for either Microsoft or Facebook. Choose your primary ratio and post your analysis.
2 Calculate several ratios—I would suggest at least one from each of the categories (profitability, liquidity, solvency, and activity/efficiency) from chapter 4 (chapter 11 in Marshall) in the text plus at least one ratio that you have found somewhere else or even made up. You should examine these ratios over a 4 year period (No need to look at every quarter). For example you might look at quarter 2 every year for 4 years—including the quarter that I have chosen. Once you are used to looking up financial statements--if you do this strategically you should be able to examine 4 years of data by looking at only two separate years of financial statements. Please do not discuss all of these ratios. Your goal in calculating a number of ratios is to increase your chances of finding a ratio that is interesting and important.
