Question:

Terri Morton has been recently hired as a financial analyst.

Arnold Company develops and markets innovative consumer products. Baker Company is a fabricator of heavy steel products. Both companies have net incomes of $1 million, but Arnold has reported total assets of only $3 million compared to $6 million for Baker. Terri suspects her new boss is using this assignment to test her understanding of financial statements. Terri’s boss did give her one cryptic clue: unrecorded assets. Prepare Terri’s analysis.
