Problem
Large public companies issue what's called an "Annual Report" each year. This provides the investor with a lot of information about the company, including their financial information. This section of the report is called a "10K" and is filed with the SEC.
Identify and research a large service business in your pathway. It must be a large, US, publicly traded company on the Fortune 500 list. Don't use a company that someone has already used. Access their most recent (less than 12 months) Annual Report/10K at the EDGAR filings at SEC Edgar search tool or Yahoo or Google finance. Please put the name of the company, in the subject line of your post. Include the URL of the report in your initial post.
