SEC Filings and the EDGAR Database
Around 87 years have passed since the founding of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. It came into being in 1934. On June 6, 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the SEC. In order to combat the terrible economic repercussions of the Great Depression and avert any upcoming market catastrophes, President Franklin D. Roosevelt viewed the SEC as a new deal program (History, 2019). The SEC assisted in giving businesses a feeling of security so that they could operate successfully and have a way to properly file and maintain the money invested in the business or organization. The SEC's goals are to safeguard investors, support capital development, and uphold fair, orderly, and efficient markets. Corporate
fraud was a serious issue before the SEC was established, deceiving investors into thinking a company was worthwhile and secure to invest in. Investors can access a public and open internet database called EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval) that houses financial data about publicly traded companies.
Anyone looking to learn more about a company can access the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR), a public database that is free to use. In order to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, firms and other corporations have traditionally submitted documents through EDGAR (Sec,2020). Since the EDGAR database helps to improve the efficiency, transparency, and fairness of the securities markets, investors can discover more about the companies they are interested in. Investors can also research information provided by individuals, variable annuities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and mutual funds through EDGAR. Examining the company's SEC filings has allowed us to conduct this investigation. Investors can further research if a business would be a promising
Harris
investment to purchase using the records available inside EDGAR based on the filings of documents provided by public firms showing how the company has performed over time (Lacoma, Rawes, 2020).
This figure was calculated as of the year 2020, but it has gone up as of the year 2021. For a monthly price of $13 or an annual fee of $119, Amazon Prime members receive a ton of subscriptions with a variety of products like video content, music, books, and more (Lacoma, Rawes, 2020). For customers, Amazon functions as a one-stop shop where they can find anything they need or want at competitive pricing. They used their extra capital to buy investment-grade short- to intermediate-term fixed income instruments and money market funds with a AAA rating (Amazon, 2018). Amazon's decision to put their extra cash in money markets with an A+ rating contributes to the stability of fixed-income instruments. This is a great investment for investors since Amazon keeps investing more money into the business as it grows, which helps the company produce cash flow and expand on the stock market. Using Annual Reports from Amazon's submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Annual Report 10-K forms, investors can evaluate the financial performance and risk of Amazon.com. The SEC's 10-K form for the Annual Report Amazon will present Investors
with
The assets, liabilities, and equity of Amazon are listed in its balance sheet.
There are two categories of assets and liabilities: current assets and liabilities and non-current assets and liabilities. Assets serve as a representation of a company's resources, assisting entrepreneurs and financial experts in identifying the company's holdings (Indeed, 2021). Liabilities, on the other hand, are a company's debts that show what it owes; as for total
Harris
liabilities, they are then deducted from assets to determine the company's equity or book value. Instead, investors can establish if the company is valued by comparing the book value to the market value.
Form 10-K SEC filings
An annual report detailing a publicly traded company's financial performance is called a 10-K SEC filing. The 10-K form contains the company's annual report that was distributed to shareholders prior to the annual meeting to help with director elections. It also contains information on the background of the business, its organizational structure, financial statements, earnings per share, subsidiaries, executive compensation, and any other pertinent information (Kenton, 2020). A company's success is fully explained in its 10-K SEC filing, which also aids in
choosing the following director. The 10-K form refers to Amazon's evaluation of its financial performance since it gives investors the necessary information about how the business is doing and enables them to decide whether to invest in Amazon. Annual Reports
Annual reports are documents that publicly traded firms give to their shareholders every year. The financial situation and operational history of the company are detailed in the annual report. The front portion of the annual report includes a combination of illustrations, images, and a narrative that describes the company's operations throughout the previous year. Also, it might offer company projections (Hayes,2020). Detailed financial and operational information about

Problem 2 (Determining Float)
Oscar's checkbook shows a balance of P6,000. A recent statement from the bank (received last week)
shows that all checks written as of date of the statement have been paid except numbers 423 and 424,
which were for P620 and P400, respectively. Since the statement date checks 425, 426, and 427 have
been written for P320, P700 and P440, respectively. There is a 75 percent probability that checks 423 and
424 have been paid by this time. There is a 40 percent probability that checks 426, 426 and 427 have been
paid.
Required:
a. What is the total value of the five checks outstanding?
b. What is the expected value of payments for the five checks outstanding?
c. What is the difference between parts (a) and (b)? This represents a type of float.
