Good morning, I had approached a different company last spring for a project that I needed to get done. I ended up missing the mark, which led to me failing the course. Fast forward a year and I am taking the same class again in order to finish my MBA. This is my last class in order to graduate and I would really like to end on a high note. Last year the product I was given provided generated a 19.5/30 points. I have that same file attached in order to update (i.e. If stocks chosen have outdated financial information), revise and improve what was turned in last year. It′s essentially a finished product. Here are the instructions outlined by the professor: * You are forming a portfolio containing 3 stocks, to diversify your portfolio, you decide to choose these stocks from 3 different sectors: one from Energy sector, one from Financials sector, and one from Consumer Discretionary sector. * Calculate the average monthly returns and standard deviations for each stock, and report their Sharpe ratios, using the latest 5-year monthly price information. * Create a sample variance/covariance matrix for your portfolio assets. Find weights for minimum variance portfolio. * Graph the efficient frontier for your portfolio. * Find the weights for market portfolio. Report its return and standard deviation, too. Add the CML to your efficient frontier chart. * Choose one stock from your portfolio, you are nervous about this stock′s future price movement, so you decide to implement a protective put strategy. Find an appropriate put option currently available for this stock and clearly label the source. (Yahoo Finance has a list of options for each stock). Graph the payoff pattern for the stock, the put option, and the protective put strategy. * Use the Black-Scholes-Morton model to price this put option you are using in the protective put strategy. How does your result compare with the current market price for this put option. * Calculate the delta for this put option. Graph put delta as a function of stock price. Graph put delta as a function of time to maturity and moneyness. Additionally, I have included the three modules, fully completed, that are relevant to this project. I will include the other three modules just in case, but modules 4, 5 and 6 are the ones needed for the completion of the project. Lastly, I have included a snippet of the grading rubric.

I have a data set and would like cash flow to be generated from the data and calculated and choices explained and justified

What is ″wealth″? How do dividends and investments play into that? Be very desсrіptive and show the mathematical reasoning behind your answers. How does long term debt play into the capital structure of an organization and how does it play into potential grow or innovation?

1. Introduction: In this part, introduce the company, write about the products it offers and the industries it operates in.
2. Competitors: Write a bit about its competitors (top 2 only). If available, write about market share of each, stock price levels etc.
3. Horizontal and Vertical analysis: (This is for 3 years of data for the income statement and balance sheet and statement of cash flows) Identify trends that you observe with 3 years of data. Have sales increased or not? If sale shave increased, how about COGS? SG&A?
4. Ratio analysis: Analyze your ratios. Write about how your company′s ratios compare to industry ratios. Are they ahead or behind? What areas of improvement exist? Review and analyze the liquidity ratios, asset management ratios, debt management ratios and profitability ratios.
5, Capital structure: Here write about the current capital structure and how it has changed over the 3-year analysis period.
6. Capex: How much have they invested into new projects? What is expected from these projects? How is the investor community reacting to the riskiness associated with these projects?
7. Dividend policy: Write about what kind of dividend policy they have. How much do they pay out or put back into the business every year?
8. Working capital management: Analyze their CCC and their cash requirements over the 3 year period. How does it compare to their competitors.
9. Risk assessment: Write about the risks that this company faces from a market share perspective, competitor and innovation perspective and how this could impact key metrics like ROIC, cash flows, revenues etc.
10. Analyst ratings: Obtain a summary of analyst sentiment around this company.
11. Recommendation: Indicate whether one should invest in your company or not.
Note: This is a 4-page paper. But, you can have as many exhibits as you′d like and have them included in the appendix section at the back of the paper. With your paper, strategically use small graphs and tables. Use as much publicly available information as possible – please cite them. Don′t reinvent the wheel – if Morningstar or Bloomberg already has statistics available for your company, use them but critically, you have to show me that you understand the stats from your written analysis. If you want to increase the length of your paper to more than 4 pages (no penalties), please let me know.

Hello I have assigment about best buy I did everything but I want someone do the Cash to current assets and working capital thoses two I will uplode the date. I want the furmala with and the answer for Exampla from 2018 to 2022
financial leverage index = Return on equity/Return on assets (ROE / ROA)
The leverage index measures Best Buy’s debts relative to its equity used to produce income. The lower the ratio the better, as a HIGHER ratio indicates a company is allocating a large amount of their cash flow to pay off debts.
2022: 53.49%/12.87% = 4.16%
2021: 59.53%/10.27% = 5.80%
2020: 44.30%/9.88% = 4.48%
2019: 44.30%/11.35% = 3.90%
2018: 27.67%/7.65% = 3.62%

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria are a relatively new focus for investors to evaluate companies’ long-term potential. Investors and other stakeholders, including regulators, are expecting companies to be transparent and consistent in reporting the progress toward ESG criteria.
You work for a manufacturing firm. As a member of the financial reporting team, you are asked to help your firm establish the first data measuring ESG category performance.
Select three ESG criteria and prepare a report for your executive committee on specific measures to track, including why you choose the criteria.
Your audience is skeptical, and believe the focus on shareholder wealth is all that matters. Include an analysis of how these measures relate to improved shareholder wealth.

Research real-life examples of Rahn contracts from news articles or business websites. You should analyze and identify the critical components of the contract and present their findings.
