All state Insurance is publicly traded, so it must file standardized reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The annual report to the SEC is known as the 10K. Review the company’s 10K for 2021 and answer the following questions. The answers should be in your own words – do not simply copy from the 10K. Do your own work. Do not copy from other students or share your work with others. A comprehensive response will probably require 3-4 pages (single spaced). This exercise counts for 20% of your final grade. Take your time and do a good job.
This assignment is due Sunday 10/30 at 11:59 pm. You can submit it as text or as an attached Word document.
When you cite financial results of the company, indicate where you found them (page #).
