Using Google will be an excellent way of finding out more details of what the main business is of the chosen company, and other general information that will be useful for the assignment. If you know how to use a financial database you can use the trading symbol to access information, but this will not be necessary so do not worry if you do not know how to do this, the use of Google should be more than sufficient.
For the Module 1 component of the Project, please address the following questions in a 2 to 3-page MS Word document:
1. Identify and briefly describe the organization, D.R. Horton. Explain why this will be an interesting focus for the application of macroeconomic ideas.

Horton.
