Dear Prof. McNichols,
I have noticed in case excel file worksheet HD3 that it includes The Home
Depot's Summary of Financial Performance, but the heading says that it is
the Summary of Financial Performance of Hechinger Company.
Secondly, in homework questions you are asking for the Dupont Model ratios,
I might have missed it in readings, if it is so I apologize for asking it.
However, I would be pleased if you could refer me to a source where I can
find information about these ratios. I have already done the ratio analysis
that is asked in Problems 5 and onwards.

Response from Prof. McNichols
Thanks for your email.  I will have HD3 corrected...my assistant picked up
the header from the header over exhibit 3 (HD1 and HD2).  Regarding the Dupont model, it
does the decomposition of return on equity into profit margin, asset turnover and
leverage, as you computed in questions 5-9 so you are all set.
