QSO 328 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Company Case Study Overview
Write a two- to three-page paper addressing parts B–D in Section I (Overview) of the Final Project. Be sure to identify emerging technologies that affect your company’s triple bottom line. In

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Overview
B. How do emerging technologies or best practices affect environmental and social sustainability efforts at the company you researched? How do they affect the financial bottom line
at this company? Be sure to provide support for your analysis.
C. Assess this company’s collaboration with its suppliers and customers. Does this collaboration improve its environmental sustainability across the entire supply chain? If it does,
what evidence is there of this? If it doesn’t, why do you think this is? Support your reasoning with evidence.
D. What metrics is this company using to assess how well it is meeting its environmental and social impact goals? What data are used to support these metrics, and how are these data
collected? Explain why you think the company chose these metrics.

FIN 320 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
This milestone is the first in a series of connected assignments leading up to your Final Project. In Milestone One, you’ll analyze and evaluate a business’s financial health and recommend
financing options that can improve it. Use the Final Project Business Options List to choose the business that you’ll examine in your Final Project. Then use Mergent Online to locate the latest
quarterly financial statements for the business: the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement.
Scenario
The CFO of your company has asked for your support in preparing a report for the business’s board of directors. Many of the board members are new, and some of them have little background
in finance. With this in mind, you will need to write a report that all board members can easily understand.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Business Selection: Select a company from the Final Project Business Options List and describe the business you chose, including the business name and what the business offers
consumers.
Financial Statements: Using Mergent Online, look up the balance sheet, the income statement, and the cash flow statement for the latest fiscal quarter for the business you chose. Use
these statements to accurately report the following values:
i. Total assets
ii. Total liabilities
iii. Current assets
iv. Current liabilities
v. Net income
vi. Shares outstanding
vii. Earnings per share (EPS)
viii. Total revenue
ix. Shareholders’ equity
Financial Statement Role: Explain why financial statements are important to a business and how they help a business determine its financial health.
