It is important to properly classify and report current and long-term liabilities because they affect liquidity.
Refer to the financial statements of the company you’ve selected to analyze. Research and answer the following:
- Is the amount of current liabilities more or less than the long-term liabilities? What does the result mean? Is the total stockholders’ equity more or less than total liabilities? What does the result mean?
- Calculate the debt ratio for your company. Generally speaking what does the debt ratio tell you?
This research assignment will help you to prepare the report and the financial analysis spreadsheets that comprise your final project.
