Question Answered step-by-step Complete question : Imagine you are advising a potential investor… Complete question : Imagine you are advising a potential investor with $20,000 burning a hole in their pocket, as to which company they should invest their money in and why? Attached are the Annual Reports for Coles Group and Metcash for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. https://www.colesgroup.com.au/investors/?page=reportshttps://www.metcash.com/investor-centre/annual-reports/ I need to consider how both companies are doing over time and against each other, looking at performance, but also position and cash-flow.  The specific question I’m struggling with is this sub-section :ACCOUNTING TREATMENTS AND METHODS USED(This part will be looking at the different methods/treatments that the companies have used and why it helped or did not work for them. It will also look at the different tactics that the companies have used to gain advantage over the other.) I have already identified the 3 common areas that need evaluating: 1) Inventory valuation methods (i.e. FIFO or weighted average?)2) Depreciation methods (i.e. straight-line or accelerated? how many years?) (Amortization for intangible assets if any)3) Doubtful debts and bad debts (i.e. how do they prepare provision? who do they ‘write off’ the bad debts?) – relate to accounts receivable, and bad debt expenses.
