Company: Tesla

1. Identify a publicly-traded U.S.-based company (other than Target) in which you have some interest, and which has significant amounts of inventory. Such a company likely will be manufacturer (e.g., Tesla, Dover, Pfizer, Boeing, etc.) or (re)seller (e.g., McDonalds, Costco, Home Depot, Kroger, CVS, etc.).

2. Obtain the latest audited annual financial statements for the company identified. Generally, that will mean either:

a. Use the information in Appendix A of your text, Accessing the EDGAR Database through the Internet, to obtain and download or print as a pdf the companys latest, complete Form 10-K, including its complete financial statements; or

b. Navigate the companys website to find its investor relations page from which you can download or print as a pdf its latest annual report or Form 10-K.

3. The financial statements downloaded in item 2 will include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and statement of changes in stockholders equity for (at least) the last two fiscal years.

a. Use the information in those statements to compute the financial ratios presented and described in Appendix C of your text for each of the most recent two years for which data are presented.

b. Immediately following your computation of each ratio pair, provide your assessment of the aspect of the companys performance measured by the ratio. Please do not get bogged down in this part of the assignment. Truly, just write what you think. Im not looking for a textbook answer here; we have an entire term to come up with those.

4. Submit your responses along with the companys primary financial statements (i.e., its balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and statement of changes in stockholders equity, only) as a single pdf file.
