Explanation:

a) Federer Sports Apparel can use horizontal analysis as a technique for analyzing the financial statement changes over a period of time.  It is a useful tool for Federer to evaluate its trend situations, using the financial statements of two years with the earlier year serving as the base year (or independent variable) while the latter year is the dependent variable.

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
