Land O Lakes Excel Energy Obtain the most recent financial statements from the two businesses you chose, and in a four- to five-page paper, compare and contrast the financial health of the two businesses using the balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. Integrate at least two financial ratios into your analysis, and compare the results to industry averages. Explain how you calculated each of the ratios. Also look for non-ratio information (innovations, acquisitions, pending litigation, etc.) to add value to the analysis. Use and cite at least two sources in addition to the websites of these two firms. (Hint: This means you will need a total of at least four sources cited.) One of the two additional sources may be a textbook. Please do not attach the financial statements to your papers, but ensure that the website for the statements is included in your reference page. This paper should be written exclusively in the third person. A word of caution: This paper calls for YOUR analysis of the two firms based on what you have learned in this course so far. Do not use the analysis of an online expert. Demonstrate what you can glean from reading the statements and analyzing the ratios. Note: All papers should follow APA style guidelines, including title page, citations, & reference page. The title page and reference page are not included in the page count.

After viewing these cases do you think you, the new CEO, should pay a bribe to get the Iraq government to release your shipment to save your job and to meet the sales goals?

Many business leaders believe that engaging in global business provides opportunities to expand and stay competitive. As guidance on how U.S. businesspeople should conduct themselves while working overseas the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was created in 1978. The law makes it illegal for employees of U.S. companies to make “questionable” or “dubious” contributions to political decision makers in foreign nations. Imagine you are a CEO of a company and was informed your predecessor was fired by the Board of Directors for underperforming. Even though this is your first day on the job you are concerned you may fall under similar fate due to the phone call you just received from the Vice President of Sales. The government in Iraq is preventing your shipment of components to leave its country. You know without the parts your company won’t meet 1st quarter sales nor will you make next quarter. Go to “SEC Enforcement Actions: FCPA Cases” found at http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/fcpa/fcpa-cases.shtml and read either the “SEC Charges Stryker A Second Time for FCPA Violations” or “Legg Mason Charged With Violating the FCPA” press release. After viewing these cases do you think you, the new CEO, should pay a bribe to get the Iraq government to release your shipment to save your job and to meet the sales goals? Give a rationale for your response.
