II. ASSESSMENT TASK

MBUS101 Assessment 3
Required: Prepare a report to present to the Board of Directors of the Company that contains analyses and evaluations of the Company’s financial performance and financial position for three consecutive years and provide suggestions as to what strategies the Board could consider adopting to address any areas of concern. To do this, you are expected to perform analytical techniques, including calculating a total of ten ratios that represent profitability, liquidity, efficiency, and investment ratios for three years based on the data presented on the financial reports for the years ended 30 June 2021, 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023). Make sure each category of ratio has at least two ratios included in the report. Note to students: In case you are unsure of (or are unable to find) a company to do research, please contact your lecturer for the allocation of a company. You must contact your lecturer by
