need a case to discuss in writing the Financial aspect of any profit organization?

Question

Need to use at least 2 of each financial ratios and compare it to the past or any competitor Looking for someone who can tell me if there is a website where I can find any example done.

Answer 1

Use the financial statements on Yahoo! finance. They will have everything you need.

My suggestion is to use Wal-Mart and Nordstroms. These 2 compete in retailing but with very different business models. Compare the ratios of gross profit (sales less COGS/Gross Sales) and inventory turnover (COGS/(average inventory)). You will find WMT to have very high inventory turnover and low gross profit. Nordstroms will have high gross profit but low inventory turnover. This is not surprising given the type of stores they are. It should be easy to write an interesting paper.
