For this Activity, you will complete a preliminary report on Apple Computer's capital structure and market valuation. The majority of this report requires computing ratios and charting them, rather than analyzing capital structure and market values. (The Stand-Alone Project requires detailed capital structure and market valuation analysis of Apple and its competition.) The first page of this report should contain additional information in the "Ratios" worksheet. The next four (4) pages will consist of selected capital structure and valuation charts (one chart per page, four (4) charts) added to the "PC Charts" workbook. The final two (2) to three (3) pages will be a Word document addressing a few capital structure and valuation considerations. Follow these instructions to facilitate report completion.
Your Activity responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct and formatted in the same fashion as the Activity itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document them in a bibliography using APA style. (A 4.5-page narrative response plus apa bib, four (4) charts, and the "Ratios" worksheet are required.)
Use the following data in computing market-related ratios.
Part A

Part B
Using your "PC Charts" workbook, create the following four (4) "line" chart types plotting each measure over time from 1994 through 2002 using the data from Appendix A of the text for 1994-1998 measures and your computations from 1999-2002. The "PC Charts" workbook with the four (4) additional charts is required.)
Part C
Assess the impact of Apple's debt load and earnings performance on its debt to capital and debt to equity ratios from 1999 through 2002. (A 1.5-page response is required.)
Part D
Though you are not required to compute earnings coverage ratios in Part A above, discuss whether Apple would have been able to cover its fixed contractual expenses in 2001 and 2002. How about in 1999 and 2000? (A 1.5-page response is required.)
Part E
Discuss whether the evidence is sufficient to convince investors that Apple's future earnings will be more than or less than what they were in 2002. (A 1.5-page response is required.)
