Note: Please go through the document carefully before writing assignment.
· DO NOT POST THIS DOCUMENT OR OTHER ATTACHED FILES ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET
· All the items in bold & red are must
· There are 4 parts & each needs to be done properly
· I NEED EXCEL file with proper audit trail as asked in the assignment. Will not tolerate any low quality work. Excel should show clearly all the calculations & all the assumptions. For your help, I’ll upload excel file, use that file & input values of the chosen company. DO NOT USE the same data in excel. If necessary input the formulas if you don’t find it for some cell values.
· Have a look at the grading criteria to get an idea how it will be graded
· I’ll going to attach Excel file separately which will be useful to find WACC & other values (DO NOT UPLOAD ANYWHERE ELSE)
· I NEED all the PAST FINANCIAL REPORTS of the chosen company which are used in this assignment. Please upload all the documents.
· Provide draft daily to track the progress due to some past bad experience
· USE THE TOP DOWN METHODOLGY HEADING & NOT THE GRADING CRITERIA HEADING FOR THE ASSIGNMENT
Make sure that your final draft is laid out with clear headings, and that any included tables or diagrams are properly positioned within the text. Any large amounts of data to which you have made reference in your assignment may be added as a separate Appendix.
In writing assignment try to avoid extensive use of bullet Points. Complete your referencing and your bibliography. In the main body of the text refer to authors by name and year date such as (Bloggins, 1999). In the bibliography give the full reference as follows:
Bloggins, J.P., (1999), œAccounting Theory for Dummies, Journal of Useless Accounting, Volume V, pages 7 “ 50.
Identify the most important conclusions from your work noting any further areas of study or suggestions for future research which you may do if only your assignment was a full-scale research project! These conclusions and suggestions for future research, when summarized into a paragraph, will form the conclusion for assignment.
