The financial performance of the company over the years six t thirteen is shown in table no 7. The data includes Revenue generated over the years, Earning per share, Return on Investment and Stock Prices. Chart 5 shows that there has been a decline in the revenues generated. Charts 6 to 8 all show a decline in Earnings per Share, Return on Equity and Stock Prices suggesting a poor financial performance by the company.

In evaluating their operating performance, you will need to look primarily at changes in sales and operating income, including the effects of meaningful changes in operating income as a result of changes in contract estimates. Where applicable, significant fluctuations in operating performance attributable to

Table 6.1.1 displays the matlab output of beta, standard error, t-statistic and p-value for the two independent variables during 10-year period. It is found that beta of X1 is 0.2750 which indicates there is a positive relationship between the utilities excess return and the healthcare excess return. This positive relationship is statistically significant as the p-value is close to 0 which is much less than the significance level of 5%. In addition, the standard error of X1 is 0.0300 which represents the average distance that the observed values fall from the regression line. This indicates that the model fits the data. In contrast, it is found that the material excess return is negatively

Assess how the type of market structure impacts your chosen company’s financial performance as measured by performance variables over the past three years. Support your response with data and graphs illustrating two performance variables of your choosing (e.g., sales, net income, stock price) over time.

* In 2005, the profit was approximately ($144,000 / $5,500,000) 2.6% of sales; does this number indicate whether the company is doing well or not?

Ford Motor Company is one of the largest United States automotive corporation company. The success of Ford Motor Company can be measured by analyzing and computing the three different valuation ratios, three different profitability ratios, and three financial strength ratios for three consecutive years. The outcome of the results can determine if the Ford Motor Company is a good investment. To enable investors and creditors to analyze these goals, Ford Motor Company distributes annual financial statements. With these financial statements, liquidity of Ford Motor Company is measured by analyzing factors such as the market value, market book value, price earnings ratio, enterprise value ratio, which provides the valuation ratios. Profitability ratio is the ability of business to earn a satisfactory income, which consist of gross

There are numerous conclusions about the profitability of the entire customer population. The mean is $111.50 with a standard deviation of 272.84 meaning that approximately 64% of the population have a profit between -$161.31 and $384.34. Plotting a frequency chart (Exhibit 1) yields results where the majority of profits lie in the -$100 to $200 range. However, the frequency chart seems to indicate that the mean should be around $-100 to $0, the interval with the most frequency counts. The median of $9 and the mode of $-2 further contributes to this notion. When examining the cumulative profit chart (Exhibit 2), Green concludes that only a little more than half of the customers are profitable, and more importantly, a little over 20% of Pilgrim’s Bank customers contribute to 100% of total profits. The cumulative profit chart not only stresses the importance of retaining existing highly profitable customers, but it also shows that there is plenty of room to make non-profitable customers valuable. Profit reaches as high as $2071 in the sample yet the average is only 5% of that value.

Referring to table X in appendix, it can be seen that the R square of these tables are about 0.17, which means 17% of the variance of profitability could be linearly explained by the independent variables (age, district, income, etc.). Thus, according to the regression results, it is apparent that income has positive relationship with profitability for online profitability as well as offline since the coefficients are all positive numbers. However, when I look in depth, I find that the Age group 5 (45-54 years old) has the highest average profitability for online segment, and this observation may give you some suggestions on online banking pricing strategy. In terms of how profit varies for different income groups, we can refer to table XX. It shows that people are divided into 9 different groups based on their income. In this table, it is clear that people with lowest income make the lowest profit for the bank on both online and offline segments. On the other hand, people with highest income, which is 125,000 per year or more, appears to be the most profitable customers of the bank. In addition, people from different districts also contribute different profit as well. For instance, people live in district 1200 are most profitable clients while those who live in districts 1100 and 1300 are less profitable.

We have also collected data from the securities market, different websites, different books and different journals.

First, select 3 vital criteria from the literature which are compensation system, working environment and turnover rate of the company respectively. Initially, Long (2012) states that

There are many issues that could potentially harm the validity of the regression forecast or results. One of the issues is that the variables are not normally distributed. This can be detected by visual inspection, specifically by looking at the Histogram or the normal profitability plot. This issue could actually lead to a higher amount of error in the regression project. One of the fixes is to actually ignore or remove the observation. Ignoring or removing the error could lead to a major amount of error build up, or could lead to removing an important variable within the data. Another issue is possibly the presence of serial correlation. This problem can develop or be detected with visual inspection, through the residuals specifically in
