The comments/responses should include at least four sentences.

1. What is the Description and Dollar Value of the first line on the Income Statement (it may be net sales)?
2. Locate the Balance Sheet (it may have a different heading, such as the Statement of Financial Position).
3. What are the names of the assets and their values (if more than five line items, report only the first five line items and dollar values)?
4. Statement of Owners Equity: Post the line items and dollar values in the "Equity" section of the balance sheet. You will likely find line items including Common Stock, Retained Earnings (or Deficit), and Treasury Stock.
5. What is the Net Income (or Net Loss) for your SEC 10-K company?
6. Locate the Income Statement (may have a different heading such as Statement of Consolidated Operations). Hint: First line should relate to Revenue.
7. Take care with the concept of $ dollars. Many financial statements are expressed in millions of $. You would report $895 million for the value $895,000,000. Be a very careful reader.
