What happens to the worker that gets laid off? Could anything good come from that? What assumptions do you have about unemployment? Have those assumptions been challenged by the readings or the videos? Why? Do you think that there can be positive outcomes for the unemployed after layoffs, downsizing, and outsourcing? Find evidence that supports your position. You may look at a specific region (like Detroit, for example), or a specific industry, but you should find some examples to back your argument. Be sure to cite your sources while you write a post in the discussion forum outlining your position.

Respond to the following scenario with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use research to reinforce your ideas. In anticipation of Mary’s request for comparative analysis, it will be useful at this time to do some research. You know that you can obtain the financials of companies within the same sector or Standard Industry Code as Apix Printing (e.g., commercial printing), and that the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Standard Industry 2012 code for Apix Printing is presently 323111. Use the FINC615 Library Guide (I will provide my login information) to search for two other companies in the same industry as Apix Printing. When you get to work the next day, you see the following e-mail from Mary: Here is the list of financial ratios you asked for. I need you to explain the computation of each and compute these for Apix’s results for the financial statements you are using for the PowerPoint presentation. Also, compare Apix’s 2-year trend results to that of two other firms in the sector. Indicate how each of Apix’s ratios differ, and indicate whether the two other companies’ ratios or Apix’s ratios are indicative of better performance. Explain the computation for each of the following, and compute each for Apix and two other companies in the same industry as Apix Printing: Current ratio (Long-term) debt to equity ratio Gross margin percentage Net profit margin percentage Return on equity percentage Present your findings of the above data in a table. Add a paragraph that summarizes your results, indicating whether investors would find the financial analysis results of Apix competitive as compared to rivals in the sector. Be sure to include both positive and negative trends in your analysis
