Homework: Annual Report Project
For this homework, combine your Annual Report Project, along with the following additional requirements:
o Calculate the Current, Debt/Equity, and Inventory Turnover ratios for the company you have chosen.

o Compare and contrast the GAAP, IFRS, and tax issues that your chosen company and the competitor face.
o Read the article, "A Blueprint for Digital Companies' Financial Reporting," provided in the study materials. Discuss any "drivers" that may apply to your company and where that information should be disclosed to investors.
o Provide an investment recommendation that examines whether your company is a good investment decision.
