The assignment is divided into three case studies. Each team is required to provide an answer to each case study. Each case study is divided into several tasks, some of which must be completed individually in respect of each of the above listed companies, with each member of the team responsible for drafting an answer in respect of at least one of the listed companies above. Other tasks require the team to come together to analyse the results provided by individual group members on each of the above listed companies.

Please note however, it is a group assignment so prior to submission it is the responsibility of every member of the team to confirm that they agree with the answers provided by the team in relation to all stocks. This provides a wonderful opportunity for all team members to help each other develop some analytical and interpretative skills in respect to financial analysis.

Please note also that all work is to be combined into a SINGLE well presented assignment and that only ONE assignment is to be submitted on behalf of the group into the LMS Assignment Box, which is found on the Assignment page of the eBook.
