Financial Analysis of Gateway Inc.
50 points
Due: Beginning of class on Wednesday, January 23rd.
Instructions: I encourage you to use an Excel or another spreadsheet to calculate the ratios in Question 1. If you calculate them manually, you may handwrite your results. Regardless of the method used, show the formula used to calculate the ratio and show your calculations using numbers from the financial statements. Your answer to Question 2 must be typed and should not exceed one (1) typed, single-spaced page.
Evaluation: Question 1 will be evaluated according to your calculation of the ratios. Question 2 will be evaluated by how thoroughly you answer the question and by the logic and support provided for your arguments. In addition, grammar, spelling, and the organization of your answer will all be considered.
1. Using the income statements and balance sheets provided, calculate the following financial ratios for Gateway Inc. for the most recent three full years shown (2000, 1999, and 1998) and for the nine-month period ending on 9/30/01. Show both your answer and how you calculated your answer.
