ACCT 2101 Financial Statement Project

Fall 2015

(50 Points)

Instructions:  Each student has been assigned to a company.  See the word document titled “Company Assignments_OnlineFall2015” to locate your assigned company.  For each company, I have posted the most recent annual report.  You will find the annual reports under the Assignments tab, Financial Statement Project (the same place you found the document you are currently reading).  

Save this file (Financial Statement Project_OnlineFall2015.doc) to your computer and rename it in the following format: your first and last name_your company name.  For example, DawnAnderson_HomeDepot.  You will then need to answer the 18 questions in this document using the correct annual report.  Type your answer under each question.  Use complete sentences and include the page number where you found the information.  The page number should be the page in the .pdf file, not the page number from the actual document.  This will allow me to scroll to the correct page.

Submit the completed document through Blackboard by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 20, 2015.  No late assignments will be accepted.

This project is worth 50 points.  Projects will be graded by randomly selecting 10 of the answers to check for accuracy and compliance with the instructions.   It is very important that you do your best on each question.  

Your textbook is a great reference tool for this project.  Most of the questions can be answered using the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.  Make sure you are in the correct part of the annual report prior to answering any question.

As always, let me know if I can be of assistance!
