Solution Summary

This is the classic assignment! Select a firm and then find two competitors, common size them, run the ratios and then figure out what this all tells you! The original post wanted everything from Boeing's view (with the other two as comparisons) but there is also a response that just compares all three. The solution is given in Excel with the ratios linked to the data cells so that they automatically re-compute when new data is entered. This provide a template to learn and then re-use with other firms.
