This assignment asks you to prepare an analytical report for a real U.S. firm using data from Yahoo! Finance and the financial models presented in the module. The main purpose of the assignment is to apply the knowledge and skills obtained in the module to a real-world financial modelling problem. Scenario: Suppose you work as a quantitative analyst for a large company, and you have been asked to prepare an analytical report. To prepare the report, you need to collect data on monthly dividend-adjusted closing prices from January 2000 to December 2021 and calculate the returns for the firm assigned to you. You can find your firm in the “Assigned Firms CW.xlsx” file under the “Summative Assessment” section on the Blackboard page of the module.
