1. Attached is an Exhibit that presents the common size Balance Sheet and other selected financial data from 2017 / 2018 for fourteen fairly typical companies in fourteen different industries. Match the fourteen companies to the fourteen industries listed below.
   1. Aircraft manufacturer
   2. Airline
   3. Bookstore chain
   4. Commercial bank
   5. Computer software developer
   6. Department store chain
   7. Electric and gas utility

   11. Pharmaceutical company
   12. Retail grocery chain
   13. Software and service provider for customer relationship management

2. Give a brief explanation of your reasoning for each. You may want to focus on the most unique industries first, or group similar industries such as services that likely would have little or no inventories. Feel free to use any approach you wish, and try to have fun with it. While your answer must be yours alone (or your group of two) for this question you may want to discuss/argue with other members of your class to get their points of view as well. Mostly I just want you to think about what typical industry ratios would likely be.
