I will be providing you with a list of all my different expenses made in the month of January, 2024. I have classified my expenses in things such as:
– Food
– Transportation
Etc.
So that you can have very detailed information and therefore included in the Excel file so that it’s easy for me to understand where are each of the expenses coming fro and how much for each section.
I will then also provide you with a list of my earnings so that you can create a complete Excel file that can help me to better understand my expenses and earnings, therefore creating a balance that can aid me towards creating a personal budget for all the upcoming months moving forward.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to trigger a wave of automation that will
Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to trigger a wave of automation that will transform corporate finance departments, automating manual tasks and assisting in areas such as risk management, forecasting, and audit. These are ‘strong promises’ especially in the context of forecasting and risk management (less ‘mechanical’ or purely statistical/data functions) and even in the area of audit (outside simple asset/liabilities tabulations).
Some questions (potential) worth thinking about are:
Do you agree with the proposition that AI will transform financial decision-making and strategies of the firms?
What barriers, if any, do AI systems face in genuinely transforming decision-making functions in financial management of the firms as opposed to operational management?
What impact on the corporate financial resilience (returns to capital, cost of capital, tax exposures, etc) do you expect to arise over time as AI gets systemically integrated into corporate activities?

I need all the numbers used in the calculations and a small description of what these numbers are so I can find them in the assignment and figure out how everything was solved. Make it possible for me to learn from your work! Use Excel to solve the questions and to show your work. The assignment should be ready to be delivered without extra edits from me. Please also put all the information into the document attached. I have chosen to use a Large task size and expect correct and thought-through answers.

You are invited by a local investment services firm, Edge Equity Investments, to
You are invited by a local investment services firm, Edge Equity Investments, to interview for the position of investment manager in their local office. The position requires you to identify and promote investment opportunities offering superior returns to clients. Returns are a combination of dividends and increases in share value over time. This position will expand your skills in financial analysis and move your career forward in an exciting direction, and the firm is offering you an attractive benefits package in addition to a comfortable salary.
Prior to the interview, you must produce a report determining whether to recommend investment in a Small to Mid-cap company of your choice listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Given the research you prepared as you invested funds received from a recent inheritance (in M2.3 The Big Picture), you have decided to research this same firm.
Instructions:
Your task is to produce an Investment Analysis Report (with a maximum of 2,200 words, tables/graphs not included) appraising the return on equity of the firm you selected for review over the past two years using the latest 10-Q and the corresponding 10-Q from the previous year (so if you are using the 3rd quarter 10-Q, the comparison should be the 3rd quarter 10-Q from the previous year). You are required to employ financial statement analysis to break down the return on equity into its key parts using the basic Du Pont formula (See the reference section 3.6 of Chapter Three: Analyzing Financial Statements and point values below). Please consider that the panelists are all busy professionals not interested in reviewing a long report; therefore, you will need to keep to the word limit. The panel has also asked that you focus on analyzing the issues rather than on purely describing information. Analysis requires you to focus on explaining and predicting implications of trends rather than merely describing trends. Plan to include the following two sections in your analysis:
Section A: Investment Analysis
Company Overview & Firm-Specific Risks (max 200 words) [10 points]
Profit Margin (max 500 words) [20 points]
Total Asset Turnover (max 500 words) [20 points]
Equity Multiplier (max 500 words) [20 points]
Based on the above criteria, your investment recommendation to clients of Edge Equity Investments (max 200 words) [20 points]
Section B: Limitations
The task requires you to determine whether or not to recommend investment in this firm based on the preceding four categories of information. In the concluding section, you are to elaborate on the limitations of the above analysis, including what further sources of information you would like to use to make a more informed decision (200 words max). [10 points]
You will submit this report as two files. The first file should contain an Excel spreadsheet (you can use any other spreadsheet) with your ratio calculations based on information in the 10-Q. The second file should contain your investment report.
