Required:
- 1. The annual report or 10-K report for American Eagle Outfitters provides selected financial data for the last five years. Compute the net profit margin ratio for each of the years presented.

Note: Some companies will label a year that has a January year-end as having a fiscal year-end dated one year earlier. For example, a January 2015 year-end may be labeled as Fiscal 2014 since the year actually has more months that fall in the 2014 calendar year than in the 2015 calendar year.
