Paper For Above instruction

The task involves conducting a comprehensive financial analysis based on specific accounting problems and company data, particularly focusing on Apple Inc.'s stock details and financial performance for 2014. The assignment is divided into two main parts: a detailed analysis of the cash management based on problem CT12-1 and a summary involving stock metrics and financial ratios derived from Apple's financial statements.

Part 1 requires answering questions A through F from problem CT12-1 on page 640 of "Financial Accounting," followed by an 875-word analysis. The analysis should interpret the company's cash management practices, liquidity position, and cash flow statements. It should examine the firm's ability to generate cash, manage cash flows effectively, and address potential issues related to cash shortages or surpluses. This part necessitates a deep dive into financial statement data, assessing management decisions and strategies concerning cash handling, and drawing conclusions based on observed trends and ratios.

Part 2 involves a detailed review of Apple's stock data and key financial ratios for the fiscal year 2014. Specifically, the report should identify the par or stated value per share of Apple's common stock, determine the percentage of authorized stock issued by September 27, 2014, and calculate the number of shares outstanding on September 28, 2013, and September 27, 2014. Using Apple's financial statements and the provided Excel spreadsheet from Week 5, the paper should compute the payout ratio, earnings per share (EPS), and return on common stockholders' equity for 2014. These ratios provide insights into Apple's dividend policies, profitability, and efficiency in using shareholders' equity.

The overall objective is to synthesize the financial data into insightful findings and actionable recommendations. The analysis should highlight areas for potential improvement in financial management, discuss implications for shareholder value, and suggest strategic financial practices based on quantitative metrics and qualitative assessments. The presentation should be well-organized, with clear explanations, accurate calculations, and proper integration of data sources.
