From the Paper:

"The Apollo Group is a for-profit education company with programs for adults, and its primary outlet is the University of Phoenix system, with more than 200,000 students at some 100 learning centers and 50 campuses (including an online campus). This is the largest private university in the United States, offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees in business, education, nursing, and information technology (Apollo Group, Inc., 2005, para. 1). Ratios have meaning only when compared to various standards, such as the norms/benchmarks for the industry, performance over time, prospects for the future, and the expectations of significant stakeholders. In the case of the Apollo Group, the company should be able to achieve stability with only moderate growth in earnings or a higher valuation by the market. For a strong company, the price/cash flow ratio should not be dramatically higher than the stock's forward price/earnings ratio."
