of $2 billion, or 20 percent of total revenues....After taking out interest and taxes from EBIT,
the net income was $0.5 billion, or 5 percent of total revenues.”
4. Ratio calculation (include 3 major types of ratios).
o
Organization of this section is based on the THREE types of ratios listed in the text
book. Calculate the ratios from the financial statements in part c above using Excel or your

for each year.

the next year. Use a moving average, etc. to create your forecast.
o
Create a graph from the historical data and show your forecast on the same graph. You can add
a trend line to the graph to help you with a forecast. Include the graph in your report.
o
