MGT 11A Fall 2023 Professor Bains Background: Understanding Financial Statements Assignment Choose a publicly traded company that you are interested in learning more about and review their most recent annual financial statements (Form 10-K). Ignore if they have a 10-K/A and select the most recent 10-K. (For context, a 10-K/A is an amended annual financial statement) Browse through the different sections of the financial statements to understand more about the company. The only company you can not choose is Tesla , given we have looked through their financial statements as a class already and I will use them as an example when explaining the assignment in class. How to access financial statements: All publicly traded companies are required to submit their financial statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The public is able to access any publicly traded financial statements by visiting the EDGAR tool on the SEC website. https://www.sec.gov/ edgar/searchedgar/companysearch Once you have opened the website you can search any company by their legal name or by searching their ticker symbol (trading symbol). For example, if you would like to search for Tesla you can either start typing in “Tesla, Inc.” or can search for them by the ticker symbol “TSLA”. Once you have successfully opened the page for the company you are interested in you will navigate to the “Selected Filings” section and select the “+” on the “10-K (annual reports) and 10-Q (quarterly reports)” section. If you do not see the most recent 10-K listed you can click on “ View all 10-K’s and 10-Q’s”. You will then click on the most recent for titled “10-K” and that will open up the financial statements for you.
Note, occasionally the website will not be loading properly and the “classic version” of the SEC website will be the view you see. If this is the case, the filings will not be organized by type of filing so you might have to scroll to find the 10K. Or you can filter the results and in the “Filing Type:” box you can type in “10-K” and hit “search” and click on the most recent form 10-K.
Requirement: After you have browsed through the financial statements for the company answer the following 19 questions . Please provide a screenshot of where in the financial statements you found each answer to receive full credit . Ziqian Gao 922612314 MGT 011A Professor Baines 1.
