EPS Forecasting Report Assignment
Financial Statement Analysis and EPS Forecasting Report Assignment
First, choose a publicly traded company to analyze this semester. Choosing a US company which has been trading for more than 3 years will alleviate many issues (i.e. translating currencies).
Next, gather historic data on key financial statements of the firm from either SEC filings
(http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm), Yahoo Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/) or
the firms own investor relations website. These include:
Balance Sheet
Income Statement
Cash Flow Statement Also collect necessary information like stock price, shares outstanding, dividends paid, etc.
Then prepare a professional report to answer the following questions:
1. Compute the following ratios for the firm that you are analyzing, for the most recent period:
2. Comment on the financial condition of the firm in each of the above 5 categories in 2 or 3 sentences each. Use the ratios of your firm as evidence of your assertions by comparing it to some benchmark (historical ratios, competitors, market or industry average, etc.). If certain ratios are not applicable to your firm (if your firm doesn’t have debt or inventory, for example), still write on these ratios and how the absence of these items affects the firm both the costs and benefits.
3. Decompose the ROE of your firm using the extended Du-Pont Analysis.
ROE =
4. Compare these components of ROE for the firms current period its past periods to understand the time trends.
5. Compare these components of ROE for the firms with its major competitor(s).
6. Now use the trends from questions 4 and 5 along with your own forecast of future macro-economic conditions to forecast the firms Earnings per share and cash flow per share. See the Sample
Financial statement analysis in the course content for an example. To do this:
a. First, make a common sized income statement for the last 3 to 5 years (every number as a percentage of revenue/sales).
b. Next, measure the revenue growth for each year in the historical window. c. Forecast future revenue growth both quantitatively (for example, using a linear fit trend line/regression) and qualitatively.
d. Produce forecasted income statements for future years using your revenue growth projections and common-sized balance sheets. Adjust items in income statement based on trends you see in past data, competitors, and the economy as a whole.

End-of-Life Care (including advanced directives, palliation) Topics to review: Article: Nurses roles and responsibilities Providing care and support at end of
life.https://www.nursingworld.org/~4af078/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics /endoflife-positionstatement.pdf
For your initial post/ threat choose 1 focal point from each subcategory of practice, education, research and administration and describe how the APRN can provide effective care in end of life management 
Using the American nurses association position statement, recommendations for improvement in end of life management focuses on practice, education, research and administration. Listed below are steps that nurses can take to overcome barriers in healthcare practice.
Practice
1. Strive to attain a standard of primary palliative care so that all health care providers have basic knowledge of palliative nursing to improve the care of patients and families.
2. All nurses will have basic skills in recognizing and managing symptoms, including pain, dyspnea, nausea, constipation, and others.
3. Nurses will be comfortable having discussions about death, and will collaborate with the care teams to ensure that patients and families have current and accurate information about the possibility or probability of a patients impending death.
4. Encourage patient and family participation in health care decision-making, including the use of advance directives in which both patient preferences and surrogates are identified.
Education
1. Those who practice in secondary or tertiary palliative care will have specialist education and certification.
2. Institutions and schools of nursing will integrate precepts of primary palliative care into curricula.
3. Basic and specialist End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) resources will be available.
4. Advocate for additional education in academic programs and work settings related to palliative care, including symptom management, supported decision-making, and end-of-life care, focusing on patients and families.
Research
1. Increase the integration of evidence-based care across the dimensions of end-of-life care.
2. Develop best practices for quality care across the dimensions of end-of-life care, including the physical, psychological, spiritual, and interpersonal.
3. Support the use of evidence-based and ethical care, and support decision-making for care at the end of life.
4. Develop best practices to measure the quality and effectiveness of the counseling and interdisciplinary care patients and families receive regarding end-of-life decision-making and treatments.
5. Support research that examines the relationship of patient and family satisfaction and their utilization of health care resources in end-of-life care choices.
Administration
1. Promote work environments in which the standards for excellent care extend through the patients death and into post-death care for families.
2. Encourage facilities and institutions to support the clinical competence and professional development that will help nurses provide excellent, dignified, and compassionate end-of-life care.
3. Work toward a standard of palliative care available to patients and families from the time of diagnosis of a serious illness or an injury.
4. Support the development and integration of palliative care services for all in- and outpatients and their families.

What is the carrying value of the asset?

Dolphin Company uses special strapping equipment in its packaging business. The equipment was purchased in January 2016 for $6,000,000 and had an estimated useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. At December 31, 2017, new technology was introduced that would accelerate the obsolescence of Dolphin’s equipment. Dolphin’s controller estimates that expected future net cash flows on the equipment will be $3,750,000 and that the fair value of the equipment is $3,300,000. Dolphin intends to continue using the equipment, but it is estimated that the remaining useful life is 4 years. Dolphin uses straight-line depreciation.

Describe the marketing research efforts that should be conducted before establishing a strategic direction.

Overview
A target audience is determined by understanding who your product or service appeals to and who is most likely to use those products or services. There are various forms of research that can assist in this determination, including Google Analytics, Facebook Audience, and multiple forms of consumer research including surveys, focus groups, and, importantly, learnings from your current customer base and profile. You have already been provided with the target audience for the theme park. Now it is time to move on to aligning your marketing research efforts to further connect with the target audience.

You have already worked on the strategic marketing plan template, which contains a plan to address the park reopening needs. The CMO now requires you to determine the needed marketing research effort and additional clear marketing strategies to connect with the target audience and their alignment with the vision, mission, and values of the global park organization. It will be critical to keeping the organizational parameters of vision, mission, and values in mind as the strategies are determined and ultimately executed.

Prompt
Draft a memo to the CMO outlining the marketing research efforts and their alignment with the vision, mission, and values of the organization in the course scenario. You must share two marketing strategies as well.

Specifically, you must address the following criteria:

Describe the marketing research efforts that should be conducted before establishing a strategic direction. Consider the following:

What marketing channels are most suitable for the purpose?
Refer to the Theme Park Vision, Mission, and Values of the organization and address the key factors of vision, mission, and values in relation to strategic direction.
How would the values of the organization influence the marketing strategy?
Determine two marketing strategies that can help ensure the successful reopening of all the parks.
Explain how these strategies support the decision to reopen the parks.

Compute the amount of goodwill

On July 31, 2017, Crane Company paid $2,750,000 to acquire all of the common stock of Conchita Incorporated, which became a division of Crane. Conchita reported the following balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.
Current assets
$890,000
Current liabilities
$580,000
Noncurrent assets
2,450,000
Long-term liabilities
480,000
Total assets
$3,340,000
Stockholders’ equity
2,280,000
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity
$3,340,000
It was determined at the date of the purchase that the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Conchita was $2,480,000. Over the next 6 months of operations, the newly purchased division experienced operating losses. In addition, it now appears that it will generate substantial losses for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2017, Conchita reports the following balance sheet information.

Current assets
$430,000
Noncurrent assets (including goodwill recognized in purchase)
2,370,000
Current liabilities
(600,000)
Long-term liabilities
(400,000)
Net assets
$1,800,000

It is determined that the fair value of the Conchita Division is $1,850,000. The recorded amount for Conchita’s net assets (excluding goodwill) is the same as fair value, except for property, plant, and equipment, which has a fair value $100,000 above the carrying value.
Compute the amount of goodwill recognized, if any, on July 31, 2017.
Determine the impairment loss, if any, to be recorded on December 31, 2017.
Assume that fair value of the Conchita Division is $1,696,000 instead of $1,850,000. Determine the impairment loss, if any, to be recorded on December 31, 2017.

Prepare the journal entry to record the impairment loss, if any, and indicate where the loss would be reported in the income statement. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select “No Entry” for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

This loss will be reported in income as a separate line item before the subtotal
