FI 3300 - CORPORATION FINANCE Take-Home Problem Set Two (THPS-2) Spring 2016 Directions: This problem set covers chapters 1, 3 and 4 in the textbook. Determine or compute an answer for each question/problem. After you have computed an answer for every question, enter your answers online via the \"quiz\" function entitled \"THPS-2 ANSWER SUBMISSION FORM.\" See the course calendar for when the answer submission form will open and close. I will post a detailed solution key to the problem set right after the Answer Submission Form closes. See the course calendar for the day(s) on which I will answer questions about these problems in the chat room. This is a take-home, open book, open notes financial statement analysis problem set. Work on this Assignment is to be yours alone - any discussion of either the questions on the assignment or your answers with anyone other than your instructor will be considered as cheating and, thus, as a violation of the GSU honor code. _______________________________________________ 1.
