1.Identify all the accounting policy changes and accounting estimates
that Harnischfeger made during 1984. Estimate, as accurately as
possible, the effect of these on the company?s 1984 reported profits.
2.What do you thing are the motives of Harnischfeger?s management in
making the changes in its financial reporting policies? Do you think
its investor?s will see through these changes?
3.Assess the company?s future prospects, given your insights from
question 1 and 2 and the information in the case about the company?s
turnaround strategy

Deejye --

The SEC Edgar site contains online financial reports from 1995 onward.
 Companies generally keep their most-recent 3 years (sometimes as many
as 5 years) online.  So it's unlikely that researchers will be able to
put their hands on a 1984 financial report.  For reports of that era,
the best sources are annual reports on microfilm -- available at SEC
regional offices or many federal depository libraries.

Note too that chasing those down is a time-consuming effort.  You
might wish to consider dramatically repricing the question.

Shouldn't you be doing your homework by yourself?  Those are questions
to a case in your course, right?  Does your course require academic
