$3-$Trends in stock price, dividends and stockholders equity: Copy and paste the table below to your slide and then include the discussion within the notes. Fill in the details.

For stock price, use the ADJUSTED close prices for each date. For dividends, use the dividends paid RIGHT AFTER those dates. For stockholder's equity, click the Financials tab, the blue Balance Sheet link and the Total Equity Gross Minority arrow. This will open up your stockholder's equity figures. Make sure to add $3$ zeros to the equity figures or include a statement that they are posted $"$in thousands" next to the word "Equity". To calculate $\%$ change $=($End Figure$-$Beg Figure$)/$Beg Figure. For the discussion, set the foundation. What occurred as to recent events$/$market conditions over your time period? How did this affect your firm? How did this affect demand? Once you set this foundatin, then you can discuss the $\%$ change figures and the reasons for those increases$/$decreases based upon demand, profits and cash flow. $$
