The objective this week is to look at the Income Statement, the Statement of Retained Earnings, and the Balance Sheet. In one of your assignments, you prepare these statements. In the other, you must look up a real one and analyze it.
Some of issues that you might consider discussing are:
1) How do you find the Annual Reports?
2) What are some examples of publicly held companies that might be interesting to review?
3) How do these three statements fit together?
