Paper should be approximately 1.5- 2 pages, double spaced, in MLA format. Be sure to include your sourced.
Hints: Examine the Annual Report of a company before choosing it. Avoid overly complicated reports that contain numerous subsidiaries such as integrated oil companies. You can use a chart for the financial information, but do not merely copy and paste. Include only the information required. Also, be careful with the numbers; financial information is frequently stated in thousands or millions of dollars. Be sure to indicate that in your report.
