Using the SEC 10-K for your company, answer the following questions: 1. Costs and fluctuations are often discussed in the MD&A section. Any comments on your analysis here? 2. Pricing decisions often relate both to knowing your costs as well as to the strategy of pricing. Competition, loss leaders, and other elements may be discussed in the MD&A section. Emerging markets and product lines are also an issue for some companies. What do you learn from your review? 3. Contingencies and liabilities: can they be estimated? Are they probable to occur? What do you learn about your company in this area? How might cost issues including profitability relate to these topics for your company? Comment on any liabilities and contingencies as presented on the financial statements and in the notes of the filing. How might these probable or possible cost issues impact the profitability of your manufacturing company? 4. Does management disclose any information about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability policies? How would this emerging framework impact on cost and profitability for your corporation? (NOTE: Some large multinational corporations maintain a separate CSR and/or Sustainability website.) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability relate to many issues including pollution and the cost of remediation and hazardous wastes. What do you learn about these topics from the SEC 10-K?
