Question

Compensation for risk is an essential function of financial markets and, as such, disclosure of risk occurs routinely in required financial disclosures. Senior management officials must be able to assess risks that affect the firms they manage, and suggest ways of addressing risk.

This task is designed to help you identify the nature of market or “systematic” risks that may affect firms generally, alongside idiosyncratic risks that may that characterize firms in different industries. The activity will require you to use the EDGAR: Company Filings website to search for the most recent Form 10-K for the firm of your choosing. Review the section of the 10-K titled “Risk Factors.” Identify and describe two or more risks that you would categorize as systematic, and one risk that you would categorize as idiosyncratic. Which risk factors can you identify as being dependent on changes in the interest rate? Comment on how changes in the price level or the interest rate may be important for this firm to incorporate into management decisions as a strategic consideration.
