Case Analysis of Financial Management

Task: The Case Analysis assesses students’ understanding of the concepts of risk and return, capital structure, cost of capital and dividend policy through analysing two Australian listed companies in the same sector or industry. Select two companies in the same industry/sector from the list of companies available from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and collect information on the share price, treasury bond yields, capital structure and dividends for the three most recent financial years of the companies. Your sources of information are: yahoo finance (https://au.finance.yahoo.com/), the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)’s website (www.rba.gov.au) and the company’s annual reports on the company’s websites. Daily share price and daily market index data should be collected over the three year period. Ensure you select an appropriate market index to compare with the share price data. Regarding treasury bond yields, collect information on 10 year commonwealth bonds. With respect to capital structure and dividends, extract from the financial statements information on the various sources of capital, the amounts and the terms if present and dividend payments over the three year period.
