(Individual) One challenge of comparing firms, even within the same industry, is that the firms use different formats and classifications in preparing their financial statements. One way to address this situation is to convert the financial statements of firms into a standard format before undertaking financial analysis.

For each firm, convert the Income Statement and Balance Sheet of the firm into the standard format shown in Appendix A.  Clearly indicate how you mapped the items from the financial statements to the standard format. Also, indicate the items in the Income Statement you tagged as non-recurring (with reasons for doing so) and hence did not include in the standard format

2. For each firm, using the model developed in Module 4 of the text, disaggregate ROE into its operating and nonoperating components. Discuss the impact financial leverage has on firm's ROE. Further, disaggregate RNOA into its components and analyze each of the components further to gain insights into the factors driving firm's performance.

Using appropriate ratios, analyze the riskiness (short-term liquidity and long-term solvency) of the firm
