“report on EXXON
(XOM:NYSE)

You will be asked to select a company
that is publicly traded. You must research and secure the SEC 10-K Annual
Report for the most recent year. This is often available at the company web
site. 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.

Post the name of your company in the SEC 10-K
company for my approval in the week 1 discussion.
Each student must select a different company
so read the company names selected by classmates.
You will use this company for discussions
during the semester.
You will write a 5-6 page paper, one inch
margins, 12-pt font, with double space between paragraphs. Your paper
should comment on the financial statements for your company as they relate
to the information presented in chapters 12 17 of your textbook,
including the notes to the financial statements. Do not consider
information from chapters 18 25 in your paper.
At a minimum, use the following headings to
organize your paper:

Introduction
Balance Sheet
Income Statement
Statement of Cash Flows
Conclusion
References
Exhibits

You
will also be required to include the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and
Cash Flow Statement as an attachment to your report under the Exhibits
heading (you can cut and paste directly from the 10-K report).
APA style is required for in-text citations
and the reference list. Purdue
Universitys Online Writing Lab has a good.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/””>website that summarizes APA citations that you can consult.
Ask questions if any of the requirements are
unclear.

PowerPoint
Presentation

You will also be required to prepare a brief
PowerPoint presentation of no more than 6 slides (not including title and
reference slides).
Consider presenting information in charts,
graphs, and/or tables to make your presentation easier to read by an
audience.
Avoid having large blocks of text because this
is difficult for an audience to read.
Avoid copying blocks of text directly from
your paper.
You can
include speakers notes to show what youd speak if you were giving the
presentation.
However, you should avoid copying text directly from your paper since
people speak different than they write. Plus if you simply copy text from
your paper as your speakers notes, youll end up reading your
presentation, and again, people speak differently than they write.
Include a reference slide in APA format.
