Question 2:

Analyzing common-size balance sheet for assets. Please open the attachment Common-Size Assets. Three companies are shown for assets only. They are in percentage terms only. Total assets equal 100%. This allows us to compare the assets held by the companies regardless of size. This data was taken from the Morningstar website. We will be using this website for future assignments. There is no fee involved to get the data we need. There will be more about this in the weeks to come. The three companies are Texas Instruments (TXN), Intel Corp (INTC), and Qualcomm Inc (QCOM). They are all in the same sector (Information Technology) and industry (Semiconductors).

REQUIRED: Compare these three companies and make note of significant differences between them. Pick out several items that stand out. Do not comment on every line. You should identify at least five items. You do not have to do any research beyond the numbers. You do not have to consult the Morningstar website for this assignment. This is designed to get you accustomed to the data that is available for analysis.
