Question

Select 2 well known, publicly-traded companies that compete in the same industry (not already chosen by another student). Go to www.morningstar.com (Links to an external site.) . At the top of the page, in the middle, start to enter one of the companies names in the box just before "Quote". As you start to type the company name a list of potential selections will pop up. Keep typing until you see the company you are looking for and then select it and hit the "Quote" button.

Once there, you can start to conduct some research on the company. I'd like you to locate and calculate, when necessary, the below items (feel free to copy and paste chart).
