In one interesting and informative hour you will learn how to use financial statements to properly evaluate any firm's financial health. You will learn how to instantly determine if a firm has a strong or weak balance sheet, evaluate profitability, calculate financial ratios, and you will understand what the financial ratios mean and what to notice.

Not classroom theory, you will learn from a "real-life" case study of Apple, Inc., whose stock is publicly traded. This study illustrates how to use financial statements to determine any firm's strength and weaknesses.

From this, you will learn how to work through your own firm's financial statements as we teach you "How to Understand and Analyze Financial Statements." You'll also learn how to calculate and interpret the following financial ratios:

• Liquidity: Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Cash Ratio
  
• Efficiency: Days Sales Outstand, Days Sales in Inventory, Total Asset Turnover
  
• Leverage: Debt to Equity, Times Interest Earned
  
• Profitability: Return on Equity, Gross and Net Margin, Earnings per Share, P-E Multiple, and more

Learn as much "real-life" finance in 90 minutes as you would in a full week college course!

At the end of this 90 minutes you will be able to:

• Understand and Use the Balance Sheet and Income Statement
  
• Properly Calculate and Understand Financial Ratios
  
• Use Financials To Gauge the Fiscal Health of Any Company
  
• Use Industry Averages to Benchmark Performance
