Take-Home Problem Set

Directions: This problem set covers chapter 2 (Accounting Review) in the textbook and basic math skills that you will use throughout this course. Determine or compute an answer for each question/problem. After you have computed an answer for every question, enter your answers online via the "quiz" function entitled "THPS 1 ANSWER SUBMISSION FORM." See course calendar for due date and for chat session dates during which I will answer questions about the THPS and/or provide hints for how to solve certain problems.

This is a take-home, open book, open notes financial statement analysis problem set. Work on this Assignment is to be yours alone - any discussion of either the questions on the assignment or your answers with anyone other than your instructor will be considered as cheating and, thus, as a violation of the GSU honor code.
