Annual Report Assignment
Accounting 101 – Spring/Fall
Due Date: See Canvas (normally the last regular day
of class)
Annual Report Assignment
1. For this part of the project you MUST provide a. LINK to the financial statements you used to get your answers.
Post that link here and then continue to Question #2
2. Answer the questions on the page below and hand it in along with a link to your financial statements by
the due date. NOTE: you should use the MOST RECENT completed financial statements for your company.
All reasonable attempts and answers will be accepted. IMPORTANT: Show your work – you don’t have
to show every step but show at least the formula you used for each ratio.
NOTE: If you’re using the big annual report with the colorful picture on the front and management analysis
you’ll have to navigate to find the consolidated financial statements…usually around page 34 or so (that’s
not exact it does vary).
If any of the information is not available in your financial statement you may just say that…however there
are situations where you can calculate the information you need, in this situation you should do the
calculation. So most of the time (“info not there”) is probably not correct so be really sure before you
answer that.
NOTE: IF YOU DIDN’T CHOOSE A COMPANY AND GET IT APPROVED YOU NEED TO GO BACK
TO THAT DISCUSSION (it should still be open), and find a company no one is using before starting this. You
can email me once you post your company and I will go back into the old discussion board and approve it.
