This is a manual of high-scoring exemplars for all MBA BUS 5111 assignments and tests. All

the papers given in here are A+ scoring papers. It should be used as a guide to writing excellent

reports and assignments and not used as a platform to copy and paste assignments. Doing so may

guarantee you a zero because the plagiarism software will detect that it has been copied from

somewhere on the internet. What I have done is that I have put at least 5 different A+ ways of

writing each essay/assignment. If you are to refer to these assignments, be sure to paraphrase in

order to prevent plagiarism.

Learning Guide Unit 1

Introduction

About the Course

Because of the range and scope of the topics in Financial Management, several textbooks are

assigned to the course. We will not be reading all of the sections of each of the books, but rather,

from selected sections of these books and a variety of other sources. These e-file references will

be yours to keep, and therefore you will be able to use them as a refresher and further expand

your knowledge over time. Although finance courses are notorious for being highly quantitative,

the subject can be approached without raising undue anxiety. The course requires the

performance of several computations. However, the calculations presented will be at a level

where knowledge of basic arithmetic and mathematics will be sufficient. You will not need a

financial calculator for this course. A basic calculator found on your computer or phone will

serve you well in addition to Microsoft Excel and its formulas. Furthermore, answers that require

calculations should also reflect justification as to how the answer was solved. New knowledge

must be supported by applying the American Psychological Association (APA) standard into

your assignment answers.

Unit 1

, University of the People –MBA COMPLETE GUIDE

We will begin by reviewing some accounting skills that you have acquired in previous courses.

These skills include being able to read and interpret financial statements and the use of financial

ratios. You may recall this is the point from which you left Managerial Accounting, the

prerequisite for this course. In addition, the unit will also cover capital structure and how it

impacts a business in distress (bankruptcy).

What is financial ratio analysis, and why would I use it?

Financial ratios are comparative measurements, a financial variable from relative values of two

or more, which allows an individual to compare information that in its raw form could not be

otherwise compared. Financial ratios can be used to identify a firm’s strengths and weaknesses.

Bankers, for example, may look at ratios to ascertain whether a firm is bankable.

What is capital structure and why should management be concerned about it?

Capital structure shows the extent to which companies use debt and preferred stock as opposed

to common equity.

Bottom lines and market values are impacted by the scale companies finance their assets through

debt. A firm’s structure of equity and debt is contained on the right-hand side of the balance

sheet (known as capital structure). Companies face heavy risk with their decisions regarding their

capital structure when they take on more debt (known as financial risk). An optimal capital

structure is management’s primary target for their firm’s continued success, which is different

for any particular corporation.

, University of the People –MBA COMPLETE GUIDE

The bottom line is affected by additional risk related to the magnitude of a firm’s operations and

its fixed assets. This particular phenomenon gives rise to risk in operations (known as operating

risk or operating leverage). The higher fixed assets are on the balance sheet, the greater the risk

the firm can realize. During an economic downturn, firms will find it difficult to recover large

fixed expenses.

Case Study

, University of the People –MBA COMPLETE GUIDE

Comic book sales have hit record highs due to the volume of comic book-based movies

achieving great success. With each new movie and character announcement, collectors and

investors feed off the speculation. Many collectors send their books for grading, certification,

and encapsulation to protect their investments. The Exceptional Service Grading Company

provides those services and wants to expand to assessing other publication formats, such as

certifying large magazines and movie posters.

What is the company’s financial position? Please refer to the income statement and balance

sheet for the Exceptional Service Grading Company available here. Using the learning resources

provided in the Reading Assignment, perform a financial ratio analysis of the company using the

following ratios:

• Gross profit margin

• Current ratio

• Debt ratio

Locate two other ratios to calculate. Define them and explain their purpose and how they add

value to your analysis.

Select significant lines from the financial statements and provide an observation of their trends.

For example, if the account is increasing or decreasing in value, what would that indicate?

• Draw some conclusions based on your observations. For example:

• Is there any viability for a new project?

• Why do you think the assets of the company went up from 2017 to 2018?
