Hi All,

I had my first RAP submission in P40. I passed the Research Report with a grade C but failed the SLS and Communication Skills.

I understand I will have to submit a new Self Reflection statement. But how do I address the Communications skills. Will I have to redo and re-submit my slides?

Hi Everyone,

Please I need guidance in the following areas:

Do I need to leave my charts in the excel sheet?, Because I deleted them once I copied them to my report.

How do I reference the source of the financial statements in the excel sheet?

How do I reference the source of the data on the charts I copied to my report word document?

In my report, is am using 3 years FS covering 2016 to 2018. However, I had use the FS of 2015 as a base year for my Year -to -Year and Year-to-Date % changes in net sales,…I had also used it in calculating averages, in some ratios. Does this suggest I have extended the period covered to 4 years(period) against the 3 years(period) required.?

Thank you all @hanne58, @gillianm, @trephena, your responses. They are very helpful.

Thanks for the guidance @hanne58. I never thought of using the companies the other way round. I will look up more on cooper tire and see if i can gather enough information to make it suitable as the main company. Thanks for pointing it out.

@gillianm, @trephena I will love to hear your views too.

Hi @hanne58, @gillianm, @trephena

I will appreciate your guidance on the following:

I am currently working on Goodyear Tires with Cooper Tire as the comparator all in US.

1> Goodyear’s products includes consumer tires, OEM tires, Tire for trucks and sales of tire related chemicals and Fleet services. The products and services offered by Cooper Tire is a subset of these and Goodyear is larger in terms of production capacity and revenue. The both operate majorly in the US market with regional presence in other countries/region. They both prepare their books with the same currency and accounting standard. ….Will Cooper tire still be a fair comparator considering the difference in size and product portfolio?

2> Cooper Tire uses the LIFO inventory system while Goodyear uses the FIFO system. will it be necessary to make adjusted of Cooper Tire inventory to conform to that of Goodyear?

3> Will it be necessary to include EPS, Dividend cover, share price growth and other ratios relating to return to shareholder in my ratio analysis?

4> There are speculations that Goodyear and Cooper Tire are working on a merger. I am working towards period 40 in may. and both companies have the 31 December Year End. Will this have any effect considering i will be working with the Financial statements for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Thanks.

Hi All.

My main company and comparator company both use the US-GAAP standard. Does this really have any effect or pose any challenge for my RAP?

[msg4wale]

Hi @trephena and @GillianM, does it really matter if both companies are operating in different countries and listed in different sock markets?

Thank you @gillianm
