Sleeman Breweries Limited
內容大綱
An investor planning changes to her investment portfolio, looked at Sleeman Breweries Limited (SBL) as a potential investment opportunity. The company had experienced strong growth, primarily through mergers and acquisitions, and had achieved success within the very competitive beer industry. She needed to evaluate the risks and opportunities of investing in SBL. Using qualitative and quantitative information she had to: size-up the current and future management direction of the company; analyse SBL's financial data using the calculation and interpretation of ratios as an analytic tool; and prepare a statement of changes in financial position.
學習目標
The learning objectives of this case are: to introduce students to the calculation and interpretation of ratios as an analytical tool for making a business decision; to encourage students to apply trends and industry comparisons to facilitate/enrich a proper assessment of a company's ratios; to give students practice in the preparation of the statement of cash flows; to strengthen the students' abilities to interpret/assess the statement of cash flows; and to improve students' abilities to make an investment decision utilizing both qualitative and quantitative information. SBL serves well as an introductory case on ratio analysis since all ratios can be calculated and interpreted. As well, SBL can be used to teach or reinforce the SCF. This case would be best positioned in the financial analysis section of a course.
