AQ1. Use what you know about financial statement analysis (or search the web if you need a refresher) to generate three different metrics for evaluating financial performance. For example, if you wanted to evaluate a company's profit margin from one year to the next your question might be, "Has Apple Inc's gross margin increase in the last 3 years?" AQ2. Next to each question generate a hypothetical answer to the question to help you identify what your expected output would be. You may use some insight or intuition or search for industry averages to inform your hypothesis. For example: "Hypothesis: Apple Inc's gross margin has increased slightly in the past 3 years." AQ3. Evaluate each question from Part 1. There are specific data attributes that will help you find the answer you're looking for. For example, if your question was "Has [Company X's] gross margin increased in the last 3 years?" and the expected answer is "Apple Inc's gross margin has increased slightly in the past 3 years," this tells you what attributes (or fields) to look for: company name, gross margin (sales revenues - cost of goods sold), year.
