My Accounting 101 professor wants us to analyze a corportation's performance using ratio, trend, and historical analysis, etc.
Lets say I choose to research COCA-COLA.
Where do I get their financial info?
Should I be looking at their stock charts?
What kinds of things do I need to know in order to reach a conclusion?
Anyone have websites?
Anyone have SAMPLE financial statement analysis?
Keep in mind this is a 101 accounting class.
Thank you.

ok I have pretty much the same deal in my World Studies class. Here's what I recommend. Search transnationale.org (I recently tried to type that into the adress bar but for some reason it wouldn't load). THere is a little orange search box. Type in the company there and then check out the page. It has tons of info.

Click on the financials link on the yahoo homepage. Then you can search for Coke and get financial statements and ratios from there.

Actually, most large Corporations always have a " Profit & Loss " section of their corporate standing. You might call your nearest Coca-Cola Corpoate Office and ask. Or you might try a Stock Brokerage Company that may help you out. Good Luck !!
