For this Assignment you will examine the financial data of the Intel Corporation. Publicly traded companies such as Intel make their financial statements available online.
We know from our studies that financial statements are useful for internal purposes, as well as for external purposes, for potential investors. Intel's financial statements tell a story, and you will study some aspects of the financials and see if you can retell that story.
Go to Intel's "Annual reports, 10-Ks and proxy statements" page at and download the 2010 PDF file titledhttps://www.intc.com/annuals.cfm Form 10-K. This is located in the middle of the page.
The Form 10-K PDF comprises comparative financial statements for several years, and this discussion will concentrate on these financial statements.
