Question:
1. What is the amount invested by the company in net assets for the current year? (Hint use total assets minus total liabilities). How does this amount differ from the value of net assets for each of the previous three years? Can you identify any reason for the changes? (Hint: look at the individual amounts that make up both the total assets and total liabilities, are there any changes to individual items over this three-year period? Alternatively, you could perhaps look at the notes to the financial statements in the annual report to see if there are any changes in the breakdown of individual items in the reports.) Discuss.
2. How much was the total equity for the current year? How does this differ from the total equity in each of the previous three years? Can you identify any reason if there are any changes? Discuss.
3. How much was the total current assets for the current year and what are the components classified under this heading? Is there any difference in the value of total current assets for each of the previous three years? Can you identify any reason if there are any changes? Discuss.
