What were the corporation's net sales, cost of goods sold, and gross profit? 2. What was the corporate tax rate? This should be an item in the notes to the financial statement. Required disclosure usually explains the federal statutory rate and a reconciliation to the actual tax rate of the company each year. 3. Read the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Notice the first line is the net income from the Income Statement. Accumulated other comprehensive net income (or net loss) is an item in the Statement of Owners' Equity section and in the Balance Sheet. Post the value from the Balance Sheet and comment on whether this item is increasing or decreasing (take care with the concept of change and net income or net loss). 4. What items appear under Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)? 5. What is the account and the amount of the bottom line item on the Statement (or Consolidated Statement) of Comprehensive Income? 6. What were total current assets? 7. What were total current liabilities? 8. What were total assets and total stockholders’ equity (deficit)? 9. Calculate working capital (current assets － current liabilities = working capital) and describe how it changed from last year. 10. If the company has treasury stock, is it increasing or decreasing in value? Remember that the normal balance for treasury stock is a negative value (debit balance). 11. What is the value for other comprehensive net income (or net loss), accumulated deficit, and/or retained earnings. How are these values changing? Using vertical analysis (show your calculations), present the following values for this year and last year: · gross profit margin · net profit margin (use the last "net income" line on the statement) · Comment on changes: · Are sales increasingly profitable? · How are gross profit and net income changing, as dollar values?
