Go to the SEC’s EDGAR database to find a company’s current 10-K form. Do not use a 10-K filing that was not filed in the current year. (For example, choose a company’s 12/31/2017 10-K filing, filed in 2018.)

The SEC’s EDGAR database is located here:

https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html

Use the ‘Company Search’ to locate your company. Then, enter ’10-K’ in the ‘Filing Type’ box to find the latest filing.

Read the 10-K and use it to calculate the following ratios. Be sure to clearly label and show your calculations and reference the information from the 10-K in APA format.
