First, choose a publicly held company. In a 1-2 page paper, introduce the company. Your introduction should engage readers and want them to learn more about this company. You might address a short history, company values, company goals, product lines, industry challenges and other interesting facts. Use professional writing and correct APA format.
Second, collect three consecutive years of financial statements for the company. Complete this spreadsheet for your company: Company Spreadsheet
Complete all blue highlighted areas on the first spreadsheet for the three most current years. All other areas of the spreadsheet will be completed in week 8. If you have questions on specific line items, please ask.
Third, you should have two documents to submit: one Word document with your written introduction to the company and one Excel spreadsheet with your financial statement numbers recorded. The company I chose is pepsi company.
