The first three quarters consist of three periods each, and the fourth quarter consists of four periods (five weeks in the thirteenth period in a 53-week year).

4. At the end of Costco’s most recent reporting period ending August 30, 2015, their total assets were stated to NASDAQ as thirty-three million, four hundred forty dollars ($33,440,000). Per the financial data observed from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Form 10-K, Costco’s prior total assets from August 31, 2014, increased by.93%. This slight increase was attributed to increased holiday sales from the prior year in 2014. Costco Wholesale Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter & Fiscal Year 2015 Operating Results.

6. Costco also invested $2.4 billion into the business while opening 23 warehouses worldwide Plans for 2016 include the opening of 32 new warehouses

7. Accounts Payable The amount of accounts payable in the last reporting period was $12,292,000 in August of 2015 compared to August, 2014 when it was $11,495,000 This yields an increase of $797,000 over a one year reporting period. Costco has delivered impressive gains for investors over the long-term. Shares of the discount retailer are up by almost 240% in the last decade. Even better, there are solid reasons to believe that Costco still offers attractive upside potential in the years ahead. I believe the increase is due to supply and demand. More consumers are shopping at Costco in order to obtain items in bulk which usually provides them a better monetary deal.
