FIN 421 Project Report
Obtain at least five years of financial data for each of those firms from the SEC web site
(www.sec.gov). I expect you to read the 10-K reports. It will help you write Phase I: History of
the industry part of the project. For the numerical analysis, we will use WRDS to download the
financial data. It is a data service which is widely used and therefore will be helpful for you to
learn.
This project is designed to i) familiarize students with 10-K reports and much of the data
available to investors for analyzing companies, ii) learn how to use the WRDS data service, and
iii) provide an opportunity to get some hands-on experience applying corporate finance theory and
models to real firms. In the process, students will:
(a) examine the history of the industry and perform a ratio analysis
(b) examine the sources of risk in the industry
(c) compare and contrast capital structures of firms in the industry
(d) compare and contrast the dividend and share repurchase policy of firms in the industry
(e) perform a simple valuation of the firm
