SEC 10-K Paper
Select a company that is publically traded. You must access the SEC 10-K Annual Report for the most
recent year. This is often available at the company web site as well. Look for “Investor Information” or
“Company Information”. Save the file to your computer for access. There is no need to print as the
report is usually 100 pages or more. Please let me know if you have trouble accessing it and I will assist
you.
Your paper will have two main parts – Exhibits and the Paper itself. You will have THREE exhibits
(described below), and you will have a 2-3 page paper where you describe what you calculate in the
exhibits. I recommend using Excel for the first two exhibits and either Excel of Word for the final Exhibit.
The three exhibits you will have are:
A vertical analysis of the Income Statement
A horizontal analysis of the Balance Sheet
A page of ratios where you show me the Ratio Equation, the numbers you put into the ratio and the final
calculated ratio. You are required to calculate the following ratios: Current Ratio, Accounts Receivable
Turnover, Inventory Turnover, Profit Margin, Return on Assets and the Debt to Assets Ratio
Start with an introductory paragraph where you describe the company you selected.
Then use 1-2 paragraphs to describe your findings from the first exhibit (the vertical analysis). You can
briefly describe HOW you calculated the analysis and what the analysis may mean – as discussed in
class.
Then use 1-2 paragraphs to describe your findings from the second exhibit (the horizontal analysis).
Again, briefly describe HOW you calculate the analysis, and also what you may notice about the
company from it – as discussed in class.
Then use 1-2 paragraphs describing what your findings from the third exhibit (the ratio analysis).
Describe what each ratio indicates about the company’s performance.
Lastly, please include a summary paragraph of what you have learned. Is the company doing well?
Poorly? Please explain.
Because you should only be using the company’s annual report and the text, no citations list is required.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
