Financial Statement

1) Nike is a swoosh when it comes to successful companies. They are a leading shoe company in the world. I picked it because I currently wear Nike shoes and enjoy their comfortable fitting. They also sell many golf products that I utilize.

2) http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=NKE+Income+Statement&annual

3) The fiscal period is from May 31 to May 31 the following year.

4) Management want to show large profit to it's shareholders and this is just following the busiest time of the year for Nike. People want to snatch spring goods and equipment before summer begins. Thus, they will purchase an abundance of products, increasing the value of the company

Loans and savings

If I were to open a growth money market savings account with Bank of America I would receive an interest rate of range of 13 to .45 per year depending on how much I invest. For a loan on a new car the range of interest is 2.99-3.94. The rate for a used car is 3.49-3.89% per year.

For Capital One
-Savings Account offers an interest rate of 1.2% per year for investment over $1,000
-Auto loan rate is 2.99% up to 36 months

Capital One's savings account and auto loan rates are both advantageous to the investor and individual taking a loan compared to Bank of America. The bank charges more on loans than interest, because they want to make a profit. Their revenue from loans needs to outweigh their interest distributed in order to make a profit. Banks have different rates to appeal to certain consumers and to gain a competitive advantage over other banks.
