Discussion 01.2: Publically Traded Companies

Consolidated Statement of Income Data shows the investor how much profit or loss the company made during a financial period. It also shows how the company made its profits or losses (Dutta, 2004). The income statements are provided for 5 year to determine the trends of the company, and its ability to make profits in future. Consolidated Balance Sheet Data shows the companys financial growth over a period of 5 years. The document also contains the exchange rate between the Japanese a Yen and the Dollar as well as the rate of dividends payable to the shareholders. The investors want to know the companys financial trend before investing his money. Prospectuses and communications, business combination Toyota and Daihatru signed an agreement to merge the two companies where Toyota would become the parent company of Daihatsu. Investors need to know about the merger because it portrays the companys interest in heavy commercial vehicle which is a growing market within the automotive industry. References Dutta, M.
