• Exercise 1 from Chapter 2 on page 26 of the textbook. 300 words
• Exercise 1 from Chapter 3 on page 39 of the textbook. 300 words

The detailed solutions for the exercises above are in the Excel file attached. You will be analyzing each exercise in 300-350 words. Your part in completing the assignment is to demonstrate an understanding and application of the concepts covered. For example, assess the purpose of the calculations and results. How does it help the company’s financial strategy? What changes could be made? Discuss anything else pertinent to the exercise. Integrate 2-3 external references (in addition to the book) to support your thoughts. Format your paper according to APA 7.0. Organize body of paper with level headings. Use template attached for APA guidance. 

Note that your attached paper will automatically be submitted to Turnitin, and an Originality Report should be sent back to the classroom within around 15 minutes. The Originality report does not actually recommend changes. It does point out where you may need to add a citation or quotation marks (if not already cited). Once you use it a few times, you will appreciate this tool, as it will assist you in improving quality and content, as well as avoid plagiarism. Your goal is to keep direct quotations to a minimum and to make sure that you do not just cut and paste material. Ensure that all your references are cited. A report with a similarity index less than 25% is acceptable for undergraduate level work.
