· Industry financial ratios (quoted at the directly referenced “actual drilldown” website page from reputable financial websites)

· Corporate financial ratios (actually computed with math from financial data from financial statements of the corporate “drilldown” own website which must be referenced)

· You may use any other financial websites that can provide you with the similar reliable (or reputable) sources for showing industry financial ratios. These websites should not be any financial “blogs” at all.

· Please keep in mind: You are required to “drill down” to the very page where the industry ratios of your focal company are located. The reference sites that you use in your in-text citations and reference source list must be the very website page where your industry financial ratios are actually located, not any of the “launch” websites.

Company Financial Ratios

· For your focal company’s financial ratios, you cannot use just any financial websites for quoting the financial ratios for the focal company. The only reference source is the focal company’s website or 10K information. You must drill down to the focal company’s website in locating the “raw” financial ratio (that is, the income statement and balance sheet, or annual investor report), and use these financial data to compute the financial ratios on your own by showing the actual financial data in all the financial ratio computation formulae. In other words, show the actual math of computing the focal company’s financial ratios on your own, not “cutting and pasting” them from anywhere else.
