    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.?

    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?

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

    Hi all,

    Please help with some clarifications.

    Will the publishing industry category below include printing press and book publishers like McMillan, McGraw-Hill, Pearson etc?

    “40301030 Publishing (5557 in older version) – Publishers of information via printed or electronic media.”

    Hi @gillianm,

    I sent you a mail via your website’s contact form.

    Could you help link up with a Topic 8 mentor.
