Assignment Exercise 3–1: Assets and Liabilities

Required
1. Find three separate references to assets and to liabilities in health care organizations in published news sources such as The Wall Street Journal or Business Week.
2. Based on this information, comment on whether the assets and/or liabilities that you have found appear to be current (short-term) or long-term. What led you to believe this?
3. If you were the author of these articles, would you have been more specific? If so, why? If not, why not?
