Part A: 

Your task in the first part of the assignment is to select a publicly-traded company, listed in either Australia or in the U.S. You will perform various analyses on this company during this semester. In order to be able to complete these analyses, there is a number of selection criteria for your company:

• The company has outstanding bonds as well as shares.
• The company’s shares have been paying dividends for at least 5 years.

Information on listed companies and their outstanding securities is available on public investing websites, such as investing.com, or Yahoo Finance. To find out whether a company that you are interested in has bonds outstanding, type the name of your company in the search bar on investing.com, and a dropdown menu will appear showing all outstanding securities of this firm. To find out whether a company you are interested in has been paying dividends, select the stock of your company on Yahoo Finance, go to Historical Data, and select Show: Dividends Only.  Once you have found a company of your interest that fulfills all selection criteria, provide an overview of the company details, listing your company’s name, the name of the stock exchange on which the firm’s stock is listed, its ticker symbol, and a list of a maximum of five of the firm’s outstanding bonds, including coupon rates and maturity dates.
