Exercise

Merging financial statements

You just learned to read JSON data into Python and compute two ratios from the cash flow statement. Computing the cash flow to net income ratio and operating cash flow ratio not only needs information from a company's cash flow statement, but also the income statement and balance sheet.

In this exercise, you'll practice loading JSON data into Python using pandas and merging it with the income statement and balance sheet data.

pandas has already been loaded for you as pd. The datasets with balance sheet and income statement information are called balance_sheet and income_statement, respectively. These have also been loaded for you.
