Questions relate to Caterpillar Stock (Q1 2018). All websites should show the same values, however I am using MSN Money as the site that I get my data from for grading. Also note that when looking at financials, you will need to select the Quarterly button to get the quarterly results. Yahoo Stock Price History can also be helpful and you will want to use end-of-day close values.

Show and compute the following (don’t use Key Ratios precomputed from the site). Compute the ratios using the methods described in this class (which may not always give you the same number as shown in Key Ratios). In particular, many websites report Financial Ratios based on the last reported annual results, but in this assignment we are reporting ratios for Q1 2018. Note that sales = Total Revenue, and Shares outstanding is reported at the end of the Balance Sheet as “Ordinary Shares Outstanding”

or, (Total market value or capitalisation)/total earnings

or, dividend/(percentage of rate of return-growth percentage).
