The Term Paper should focus primarily on the financial analysis of the company you selected. Pay close attention to this aspect.

Conduct financial analysis on five categories of ratios (two of each) for each of three years. Conduct trend analysis for each ratio and comparative analysis with industry or key competitor’s ratios for the last year in the three-year period. Show tables in a ratio, explain the results for trend and comparative analysis and use graphs.
