Class Project
The objective of the class project is two-fold: a) to familiarize you with the usage of Excel (which you will have to use in your jobs, no matter what type of jobs), and b) to draw conclusions based on the facts and your learning. You need to answer all questions (to be given to you later) and write no more than 2-page (single spaced, 12 fonts, and Times New Roman font). Your writing should be precise and indicative of your understanding the facts presented in the case. I will hold a review session on how to prepare your data and how to create the report, which will be announced within Canvas closer to the time in which the assignment is due. See the Weekly Schedule below for due dates and times.
What to do:
Select a commercial bank whose income statement data are available. Using recent income statement information about that bank, assess its performance. How does the performance of this bank compare to the performance of other similar banks? Compared with the other similar banks, is its return on equity higher or lower? What is the main reason why its ROE is different from the norm? (Is it due to its interest expenses? Its noninterest income?).
Data:
Please refer to the “Project Guidelines” document and follow the step-by-step instructions to create you Excel Spreadsheet.
What to submit:
You need to submit your written part in word or PDF format along with Excel calculation.
Your written part should stand out itself, i.e., you should use numbers to support your arguments. If need be, you may reference to the specific cell in the Excel. If you would like to copy paste tables from Excel, you can add an appendix to the word file. Appendix is separate and is not included in the page count. A grading rubric for the project will be provided in the Assignment Dropbox area. Please note that NO late Projects will be permitted.
