    this is a summative assessment.
    Please review the assessment outline document:

    Summative Assessment
    Open report (1,500 words)
    You are a financial analyst and have been asked by a client to
    provide advice based on relevant ratio analysis on whether to buy
    equity shares in Tesco Plc, a supermarket based in the UK but with
    subsidiaries and investments around the globe.

    Your advice is to be based on your analysis of their 2019 annual


    report. A copy of the reports can be found by following this link:

    You do not need to calculate key financial ratios as these have been
    calculated for you and are included as an attachment to this
    assignment. You can calculate additional ratios if you consider them
    helpful to your analysis and marks will be awarded for this.
