The goal of the project is to have students practice corporate financial decision-making workflow and apply qualitative and quantitative financial statements analysis to support core financial decisionmaking for a public company. The project requires students to focus on a pair of public companies in a specific industry and work on a series of aspects in financial management. Each aspect comes with detailed requirements and guidelines and here are the major aspects:  Part I. Financial Status Examination  Part II. Capital Investment Condition and Risk Analysis  Part III. Working Capital Management  Part IV. Cost of Capital Candidate industries and pertaining companies include:  Oil & Gas: CVS vs. XOM  Consumer Products: HD vs. LOW  Automotive: F vs. GM  Food & Beverage: KO vs. PEP Please select one industry from the above four. For the pair of companies of your selection, please visit their investor relationships section of their official websites. Download the 2023 10K and read the business description, usually first 10-20 pages on 10K. Financial performance monitoring is an important part of corporate financial management. Part I aims to get you familiar with extracting financial operation and performance information from publicly available information. Please collect relevant data and financial information and fill out the Part I Report with your best answer. Data and information is not limited to each firm’s 10-K, which can be downloaded on the company website. You may find a lot of financial media coverage and financial analysts’ follow-up for these companies. For any numbers, ratios, statement or comment used in your report, please provide the citation and reference list at the end of your report, unless ratios are calculated by yourself.

Select a company of your choice and research the financial statement of that company (i.e. GE Capital, Wal-Mart, Apple, Google, Yahoo, IBM, Boeing, Target ...etc) and explain how healthy or unhealthy the company is based on your findings.

Exxon Mobil (EM) is a well-oiled machine that is pumping profits. How does it do it? By using technology to evaluate potential deposits. It displays a 3-D computer image, IMAX style, on a 32-foot wraparound screen. It then drills underwater. Once oil is found, EM pumps the oil without any significant lapse of time. Its investment in R&D is over $600 million per year, and it employs 1,500 Ph.Ds. Unlike companies that finance both applied and basic research, EM demands work that produces a measurable impact and competitive advantage. Dissemination of findings among scientists is thus high. EM is also getting payoffs from older technologies, like increasing the recovery rate from existing deposits. An example is the so-called reservoir analysis that has enabled EM to boost reserves and improve recovery from fields. The merger of the two companies, Exxon and Mobil, was remarkable, given their two divergent philosophies and cultures. Exxon had top efficiency born out of command and control, while Mobil was loose and informal, but the elaborate restructuring worked out well. The return on capital deployed was 21% in the year 2000, more than double the level of the past 2 years and the best among big oil companies.
