Your grandparents have been left a substantial amount of money and want to invest in a company. Your grandfather trusts you to make a recommendation, but he also wants to see the reasoning behind your choice.You have an idea of which company to choose and you decide to prepare 3 sets of documents for your grandparents to consider: business analysis, combined income and cash flow statement, and trend analysis.Business AnalysisSelect a public company that trades on either the NYSE or the NASDAQ. Perform a business analysis (both external and internal) for your company using the most recent information from various sources. Possible sources include the following:Annual report or form 10-KMagazine or newspaper articlesCompany Web sitesGovernment informationIndustry informationRating agenciesAnalyst reportsInternet articlesYour analysis should be approximately 5 pages long. Be sure to cite your sources using APA guidelines.Combined Income and Cash Flow StatementDownload the company's most recent annual report from its Web site or the company's form 10-K from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Web site (www.sec.gov).Confirm that the firm's income, dividends, and other capital transactions explain the change in equity for the most recent year. (You may need to consult the statement of shareholders' equity.)Confirm that the firm's cash flow statement begins with the same net income amounts found in the income statement.Confirm that the firm's cash flow statement shows a change in cash that is equal to the difference between cash shown on the balance sheet at the beginning and end of the year. In Excel, construct a combined income statement and cash flow statement.Write 1–2 paragraphs that answer the following:What would you do if you found there was a huge difference in the net income amounts and the reported cash flow amounts?How could technology limit the likelihood of this happening again?Trend AnalysisFinally, prepare a trend analysis of operating ratios for at least 3 years' worth of financial data. Prepare the analysis in Excel. You may wish to create a common-sized income statement first, but it isn't required.If you adjusted for any nonrecurring items in step 1, explain the adjustments in a separate Word document. Use any other information in your company's annual report to explain the change in revenues, gross margin percentage, and operating margin percentage. Add this information to the Word document.

The company is Amazon.com, Inc. The GOAL is to open a physical store in the US (no specific state). As you've learned this week, the control process is essential to the achievement of goals. It allows a business to track their progress, make adjustments, and stay on schedule for what they're trying to achieve. Your chosen goal from the strategic management project needs these same types of controls. This course project assignment will task you with creating a detailed control process for that goal. Think through all of the departments that might be involved in the completion of the goals and how they'll need to be tracked. The course content from this week (LOCATED IN THE HOMEWORK HELP ATTACHMENT) can be very useful in providing details on strategies and ideas for control processes. Some additional research will also prove useful. This assignment should complete the following: Identify four separate strategies that you will use to control your strategic goal. For each strategy: Identify which aspect or metric of the goal they're controlling. Explain the reasoning and value behind the control choice. Identify the control as feed forward, concurrent, or feedback. As an example, if my goal is to "decrease the amount of defective parts made on my assembly line by 5%", I could control it through regular maintenance checks (feed forward), thorough employee training on the machines (feed forward), and a software system that monitors production while it's happening and can print off detailed reports after work is completed (concurrent and feedback). You will need to go into much more detail on the structure, process, and purpose of your control methods, but this should give you a good idea of how to complete this assignment. Really think through how you'll keep up to speed with company progress on your strategic management goal.
