Corporate Tax Liability and Balance Sheet Analysis

Ratio analysis provides useful information for a company’s operations and financial conditions. Conducting analysis in a mechanical, unthinking manner is dangerous, but when the ratio analysis is used with good judgment, it can provide useful insights into a firm’s operations and identify the right questions to ask.

In this competency assessment, you address the time value of money also known as discounted cash flow analysis. This type of analysis is crucial to being able to viably analyze financial statements.
