QUESTION 3
[30 MARKS]
Financial analysis is the process of examining a company's performance in the context of its industry and
economic environment in order to arrive at a decision or recommendation. Often, the decisions and
recommendations addressed by financial analysts pertain to providing capital to companies-specifically,
whether to invest in the company's debt or equity securities and at what price. An investor in debt
securities is concerned about the company's ability to pay interest and to repay the principal lent. An
investor in equity securities is an owner with a residual interest in the company and is concerned about
the company's ability to pay dividends and the likelihood that its share price will increase.
Overall, a central focus of financial analysis is evaluating the company's ability to earn a return on its
capital that is at least equal to the cost of that capital, to profitably grow its operations, and to generate
enough cash to meet obligations and pursue opportunities.
