1. Complete the following homework scenario:

• Select one (1) U.S. publicly traded company and review its most recent Annual Report. (You may use one (1) of the three (3) companies you selected for your Stock Journal assignment.)
  • Use the Income Statement and Balance Sheet to determine the changes in:
    • assets, liabilities, and equity
    • total revenue and net income
  • Briefly describe the change from the current and prior years in each of these key areas and determine if the changes would be positive or negative from an investor / stockholders view.

8. Indicate the number of shares you are buying, and the price of the shares you are buying for each company:Once you decide the companies and the amount for each company, determine how many shares you can buy. If Company 1 is selling for $42.16, then you may buy $10,000/ $42.16, or 237.19 shares. But you cannot buy a part of a share, so you decide to buy either 237 or 238. In this example you buy 237 shares, at $42.16 per share, investing $9,991.92. You wont be able to buy exactly $10,000, or $5,000, or $25,000, but it will be relatively close.
