Milestone One: Identify a Company to Study
In task 1-2, you will select a U. S.-based publicly traded company that has not already been selected by another student. There will be a discussion forum where you will post your selection after reviewing other students’ posts to make sure that the company is not already taken. In the post to the discussion forum, you should list the name of the company, the industry the company is engaged in, the stock exchange it trades on, and the ticker symbol, and also post a link to the most recent annual financial report you will be using for the project. This should be done by Thursday of Module One, and you should make comments / questions to at least two other students by Sunday. This milestone is graded with the Discussion Rubric.
Milestone Two: Perform an Analysis of Your Chosen Company’ s Balance Sheet
