In this week's discussion, you will be comparing the financial statements of two companies. Please select from the following list:

Walmart

Amazon

Target

Carrefour Group

Tesco PLC

To locate the financial statements, go to the Investors section of the company website and access the most recent annual report. Be sure when you are comparing the companies, the annual report selected is for the same year. Once you have made your selection, please answer the following:

$-$What are the differences and similarities between their income statements? How would you compare sales, costs of goods sold, and expenses between the two companies?

$-$What are the differences and similarities between their balance sheets? What classifications are presented? How are the accounts receivable and accounts payable compared for both companies?

Locate the notes to the financial statements and highlight three notes you found that would be of interest to investors about each company $($that they will use to make investment decisions$).$
