Assignment 1: Financial Research ReportDue Feb 25 by 9pm and worth 300 points

Imagine that you are a financial manager researching investments for your client. Use the Strayer Learning Resource Center to research the stock of any U.S. publicly traded company that you may consider as an investment opportunity for your client. Your investment should align with your client’s investment goals. (Note: Please ensure that you are able to find enough information about this company in order to complete this assignment. You will create an appendix, in which you will insert related information.)

The assignment covers the following topics:

  • Rationale for choosing the company in which to invest
  • Ratio analysis 
  • Stock price analysis
  • Recommendations

Refer to the following resources to assist with completing your assignment:

Stock Selection

Market and Company Information

  • U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission – “Market Structure”
  • Yahoo! Finance
  • Mergent Online (Note: This resource is also available through the Strayer Learning Resource Center.)
  • Seeking Alpha (Note: Also available through the Android or iTunes App store.)
  • Morningstar (Note: You can create a no-cost Basic Access account.)
  • Research Hub, located in the left menu of your course in Blackboard.

Write a ten to fifteen (10-15) page paper in which you:

  1. Provide a rationale for the stock that you selected, indicating the significant economic, financial, and other factors that led you to consider this stock. I selected Coca-Cola Bottling Co Consolidated stock.
  2. Suggest the primary reasons why the selected stock is a suitable investment for your client. Include a description of your client’s profile.
  3. Select any three (3) financial ratios that you have learned about in the text. Analyze the past three (3) years (2014-2016 or 2015-2017)of the selected financial ratios for the company; you may obtain this information from the company’s financial statements. Determine the company’s financial health. (Note: Suggested ratios include, but are not limited to, current ratio, quick ratio, earnings per share, and price earnings ratio.)
  4. Based on your financial review, determine the risk level of the stock from your investor’s point of view. Indicate key strategies that you may use in order to minimize these perceived risks.
  5. Provide your recommendations of this stock as an investment opportunity. Support your rationale with resources, such as peer-reviewed articles, material from the Strayer Learning Resource Center, and reviews by market analysts.
  6. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

You have a sizeable collection of music (CD or Cassette) and videos (DVD or VHS),and you want to develop a database to store, access and process this collection. You first need toimplement a class hierarchy for your media to help implementing the database. You also have adata file (text file) that contains the information on your media (see details of the file format below.)You want to be able to insert new media entries, look up a media by title or remove a media givenits title. You also want to save any changes to your data file. You will implement a media databaseby the help of a Single Linked List. In other words, you will be storing your Media objects in aSingle Linked List. Use the SLList class we have covered in class. Add any methods to that classthat you find necessary.Details of the Implementation: Your program first should load the data file into the mediadatabase (Single Linked List). Then you should display a simple menu (GUI or text-based) whichasks the user what operation to perform and take action according to the user input (Partial code isgiven in MDConsoleIO.java). Appropriate output should be displayed.(1) Media Class Hierarchy: Implement the classes as described in Chapter 1, Programming Project5 (pg. 56, 57 of KW textbook.) Note that the Media, Audio, and Video classes are abstract classes.You are required to include instance variables and methods given in Fig 1.12 and any othervariables/methods you find necessary for the classes Media, Video, DVD and VHS. For theremaining classes (Audio, Cassette, CD), determine your own instance variables and methods. TheplayMedia() method should display: ”Now playing: ” followed by the title and all other informationregarding that media. It should also increment the number of plays. Test all your classes before youproceed.(2) Download MediaDatabase.java, LinkedListMediaDatabase.java and MDConsoleIO.java. Youwill complete the class LinkedListMediaDatabase by implementing the methods in the MediaDatabase.java.(3) Study the partially given MDConsoleIO.java and see how the user interface works. Completethe methods that are left blank.(4) MediaDatabase Interface specifies which methods to be implemented byLinkedListMedia-Database, the parameters and what needs to be returned by each method. Followthe requirements. The following operations has to be implemented. 1 void loadData(String sourceName): Loads the data file into the media database. The nameof the data file is given by sourceName.2 void addEntry(Media newMedia): Adds a new entry. If the given title already exists in thedatabase, print an appropriate message and do not insert the new entry.3 Media lookupByTitle(String title): Searches the database for the given title and returns theassociated media object. Returns null if title is not found.4 Media removeEntry(String title): Removes the entry with the specified title from thedatabase and returns the associated media object or null if not in the database.5 void save(): Writes the contents of the database of entries to the same data file you used forloading entries initially.Input/Output Requirements:1. Input: The data file. In the text file, the specification for each media object starts with themedia type (one of ”Cassette”, ”CD”, ”VHS” or ”DVD”). This is followed by each datamember for that type. Each data member will be read from a separate line of the text file. Forarray type data members, e.g. supportingActors, first the number of supportingActors is givenfollowed by that many supportingActors—one per line. For example, an example entry for aDVD is as follows:DVDMatrixKeanu Reeves13602 //number of supporting actorsLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWachowskiHD0 //number of special featuresTRUETRUE0 //number of soundOptionsSubmit an example text file of your collection with your code submission.1 Additional entries: If the user wants to insert new entries, each new entry is typed by theuser at the keyboard when requested.2 Output: Each media entry will be written to the data file in the same format as the input.2
