For this assignment, you will perform research to choose a publicly traded company such as Microsoft corporation. Specifically, a publicly traded company is needed for this assignment since you will need to review the company's financial performance for 2024, and this information will be available to the public. A company's annual financial statement, the 10-K report, is commonly available on the company's website. You can also use the company's stock ticker to review a summary of their financials from other websites, when reviewing the company's financial performance, you should analyze the final year-end net sales, net income, and revenue for the past two years for trends (e.g., noting if performance increased or decreased). In addition, please research the company sufficiently to understand the company's mission, vision, goals, services, and customers. Please pay attention to the areas the company may need to control and where the company can benefit from improved efficiency. The company's 10-K report is a good source of information about the company's challenges; however, you should also perform additional research. For this assignment, you will perform research to choose a publicly traded company such as Microsoft. Answer these questions related to Microsoft trade research and provide references. Introduction
