Respond to each of the following: Category: Long Term Assets, Liabilities & Contingencies:
1. Selected Balance Sheet Information: Provide a detailed table listing all long term assets, liabilities & contingencies found on the balance sheet for the four most recent years. (Present most current year in the left most data column.
2. Prepare a horizontal (aka. trend) analysis & a vertical analysis for the items presented in part 1. Set the least current year as the base year = 100%. Round all calculated values to the nearest whole number. (Suggestion: see my lecture notes posted in week #3 participation.)
3. Provide a short (emphasis on short = brief and in bullet format) explanation for one (and only one) element in part 2 for where you observe a significant pattern. (Significant pattern will be defined by at least a 10% increase/decrease from year-to-year within the horizontal analysis.)
Note: Do not copy & paste from the SEC 10-K. Prepare your own tables & bullets with proper APA style citations. Mr. Buffett wants to see what your professional presentation vice what the right click, copy & paste can accomplish.
See my posted example for the Boston Beer Company.
Note: Students must "Start a New Thread" to provide their company's information. The subject line of that new thread must contain,"Company Name - by Student Name." Where it says company name that is the name of the company that the student is selecting. Where it says student name that is the student's name who is posting the new thread.
Note: All information must be from the audited SEC-10K financial statements. You should note that the information we are looking for will be found in Item 8 of the SEC 10-K. No other sources are acceptable for this project.
Note: All information presented that was found in the financial reports must be documented.
Use APA style and in addition, page number(s) must be presented for each in text citation.
Except for directly quoted material, page numbers are not mandatory in APA style but I am making them mandatory for credit in this presentation.
Present source document as a bibliography complete with the exact url that will directly lead the reader to the exact SEC 10K annual report.
Additionally, you must provide a date accessed.
Again APA does not mandate this for fixed website, I am making it mandatory for credit.
