Section 2: Microsoft Balance Sheet Analyzed
For the Microsoft Inc. balance sheet, I again go through each important line item from the balance sheet. In reviewing each line item, I will define Microsoft’s balance sheet line item, such as cash, property, plant and equipment, and liabilities. Next, I then offer a summary analysis of Microsoft’s essential balance sheet line items.
Cash:
Microsoft’s cash holding in 2018 was $11.9 billion or 10.8% as compared to sales. In 2022, their cash was $13.9 billion, or 7% of sales. This trend indicates that the organization was able to decrease its cash position as compared to sales from the previously stated year. This decrease elevates Microsoft’s ability to utilize its cash for growth and other opportunities fully. From an investor’s perspective, this is a good trend.

Section 3: Microsoft Financial Ratios Analyzed
For this section, I have chosen several different financial ratios to review for Microsoft. In reviewing each of Microsoft’s financial ratios, I first define the financial ratio. Next, I supply the financial formula for calculating the specific ratio. Finally, I offer a brief analysis of Microsoft’s Important Financial ratios.
Microsoft Current Ratio
Microsoft’s current ratio is 2018 was 2.9. In 2022, their current ratio was 1.78. This trend indicates that the organization better aligns its current assets with its current liabilities. However, obtaining a current ratio of 1.0 would serve the firm better. From this, investors should consider this a good trend.
Analyst Grade: B
Microsoft Return on Assets
Microsoft’s return on assets (ROA) in 2018 was 6.4%. In 2022, their ROA was 19.94%. This trend indicates the organization is increasing the utilization of assets under management for revenue generation purposes. From an investor’s perspective, this is a good trend.
