Adjust Sunbeam’s 1997 Earning before
interest and taxes for one-time events and apparent (e.g., doubtful
accounts, depreciation expense, and etc.) changes in accounting
policy. Be careful to adjust for things done in 1996 that had a
carry-over effect on 1997. You may want to compute some comparative
ratios to facilitate your analysis. Be sure to provide the details
of and clearly label any computations.
