finance

Select an American corporation.(must be publicly traded in the US)

 

Visit its website and download the Income Statement, Statement of Stockholders Equity, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows. The statements must be from the company website- summaries from other sources will not be accepted. They are in the investors section. You are looking for the complete published annual report, or 10-K. sometimes it is under SEC filings. Make sure it is the most current published year.

 

Submit the completed worksheet, copies of the downloaded financial statements, and a link to the website.

NOTE: For the question about cash flows, I am looking for the total cash flows from all operations, not operating activities. Be sure to show what it balances back to! 

This is an informal assignment using the worksheet. APA is not required, but all research (required) supporting assertions must be cited and referenced in APA format. All sources must be credible and peer reviewed.
