Individual Research Project
For your Individual Research Project you will be analyzing and comparing two large Corporations.
This project will be done over the course of the next four weeks. During weeks four, five and six you will be given a related assignment to the project which you will then accumulate into a final report in week seven. I will be treating each week's assignment as a Draft and will give you feedback so that you can make corrections and changes before including each part into your final analysis.
Part One:
Required: Answer the following questions based on your examination of the Lowes and Home Depot 10-Ks.
You can find the 10-Ks at the SEC's web site, .https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html I have set up a WORD Table for you to use.
This week's questions are mostly general in nature and also include putting your knowledge of ratios to work. Please show your work on the ratio portions.
