use the balance sheet to evaluate the company’s financial health.

As discussed in Chapter 14, the balance sheet of a company can give us a snapshot of the financial health of a company at a given time. For this discussion, you will find the balance sheet of a company of your choosing. Then you will use that balance sheet to evaluate the company’s financial health.

Go to https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearc… and type in a company you would like to research. Find the company’s most recent quarterly report and click on “interactive data”. In the left-hand navigation choose, balance sheet.

Take a screenshot of the balance sheet or put the balance sheet into a word document to share with the class.

Using information you learned in the textbook, what observations can you make about the company’s financial health given the balance sheet?
