Use relevant indicators, graphs, and spreadsheets to support your narrative. (Include all spreadsheets in an appendix.)

Do any items stand out?

-Assess what the organizations consolidated cash flow statements for the same time period say about its financial performance.

-Does Nike have the right amount of cash and other resources (e.g., key people, technologies, reputation, physical assets, etc.)to fuel future growth? What does this suggest for business decisions? For example, if it has too much cash, should it pay a large dividend,repurchase its own shares, or reinvest the excess funds?
